	The Spanish
		Alfonso had established strong political and religious ties with Burgundy and had married three French princesses, had wed both of his daughters to Burgundian nobles who had come to seek their fortunes battling the infidels in Hispania.
		Alfonso's heiress, Urraca, already widowed at her father's death was unable to receive the crown by Leonese custom so immediately following her father's death, she was married to the only reigning king in Hispania, Alfonso I "the Battler", sovereign of Aragon and Navarre but it was a political and conjugal failure from the beginning.
		The marriage between the distant cousins was annulled by the papacy as incestuous and after several years of political frustration and civil war, Alfonso the Battler withdrew completely and returned to his raids against the Muslims, leaving Urraca's very young son by her first marriage to eventually succeed him as Alfonso VII of Castile-León.

		Before he died in 1109, her father, Alfonso VI, betrothed her to his contemporary and erstwhile rival, Alfonso I (el Batallador) of Aragon.
		"The Battler" was one of the most accomplished warriors of the Middle Ages and the marriage would unite most of the Iberian peninsula under one rule.
		The misogynistic Alfonso may also have been sterile, impotent or even gay, these theories stemming from his utter lack of progeny, either legitimate or illegitimate, and Urraca's continued fertility after their divorce.

	Tudela Information
		When King Alfonso the Battler captured the town from the Muslims in 1114 it contained a large number of Jews.
		In fact, several of Tudela's better-known Jews were born during the time of Muslim political control, although Benjamin of Tudela was probably born soon after the Christian conquest.
		The Jews were not content with a "fuero" (charter) granted in 1115 by the conqueror, and suspecting that their safety was threatened, they decided to emigrate; only at the special request of Alfonso and on his promise that they should be granted municipal rights similar to those of Nájera, did the Jews consent to remain.
