| | Richard the First, King of England (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | His consort, by whom he had no issue, was Berengaria, the lovely daughter of Sancho, the Wise, King of Navarre. |
 | | The Royal House of Navarre derived in the female line from Aznar, first Sovereign Count of Arragon on the deliverance of that country from the Moorish yoke, and became the parent stem, from which issued the Kings of Arragon, Castile and Leon. |
 | | After the death of Richard, Berengaria fixed her residence at Mans, in the Orleannois, and passed her latter years in honourable retirement within the walls of the stately Abbey of L’Espan, which she had founded. |
