  Berengaria of Navarre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berengaria had never visited England during King Richard's lifetime (Richard, already married, only spent three months in England; this was in his second coronation and never returned to England), but there is evidence that she may have done so in the years following his death.
Berengaria eventually settled in Le Mans, one of her dower properties.
She was a benefactress of the abbey of L'Epau, entered the conventual life, and was buried in the abbey.

Berengaria did not remarry but lived in Le Mans for thirty years until her death in the abbey she founded on the outskirts of the city.
Berengaria's life, her background and the choices which were made for her by others, can be compared and contrasted with those of other medieval princesses and her achievements can be assessed against these constraints.

Berengaria was born about 1165, one of the five children of Sancho VI of Navarre and his queen Sancha.
