Treaty Of Ágreda (1162)
In September 1162, King Alfonso II of Aragon and King Ferdinand II of León signed a treaty at Ágreda. It affirmed the treaty of Tudilén signed by their fathers in 1151. The two kings committed themselves to the conquest and division of the Kingdom of Navarre. Alfonso, who was a child, recognized Ferdinand's superiority, admitting his title " king of the Spains" (Latin ''rex Ispaniarum'') and placing himself and his land under Ferdinand's "defense and wardship". Ferdinand took the title "tutor" and betrothed his new ward to his sister, Sancha. The Leonese prelate Pedro Gudestéiz was one of the treaty's negotiators. The treaty was a triumph for Ferdinand, who took advantage of the fact that the kings of both Aragon and Castile at the time were children. He was accompanied to Ágreda by many Castilian prelates, including the archbishop of Toledo, . The treaty of Ágreda negated both the proposed marriage of Alfonso to Mafalda of Portugal and the clause in Alfonso's father's will t ...

Treaty Of Tudilén
The Treaty of Tudilén (or Treaty of Tudején) was signed between Alfonso VII of León and Castile and Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona on 27 January 1151 at Tudilén, near Aguas Caldas in Navarre. Contents The partition of Navarre, after the death of García Ramírez of Navarre, was the paramount reason for the treaty. The pact recognised the Aragonese conquests south of the Júcar and the right to expand further south and west, while the Taifas of Murcia, Valencia and Denia were to fall to Ramon. The Kingdom of Portugal was to be destroyed, while Seville was to be shared between Alfonso and Ramon. Consequently, Ramon also agreed to pledge homage for the Taifa of Valencia and a substantial part of Murcia. Result The treaty, however, was never implemented due to major offensives by the Almohad Caliphate, and was superseded by the Treaty of Cazola in March 1179.

is a Latin title meaning "Emperor of All Spain". In Spain in the Middle Ages, the title "emperor" (from Latin ''imperator'') was used under a variety of circumstances from the ninth century onwards, but its usage peaked, as a formal and practical title, between 1086 and 1157. It was primarily used by the kings of León and Kings of Castile, Castile, but it also found currency in the Kingdom of Navarre and was employed by the counts of Castile and at least one Kingdom of Galicia, duke of Galicia.

Kingdom Of Castile
The Kingdom of Castile (; : ) was a polity in the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages. It traces its origins to the 9th-century County of Castile (, ), as an eastern frontier lordship of the Kingdom of León. During the 10th century, the Castilian counts increased their autonomy, but it was not until 1065 that it was separated from the Kingdom of León and became a kingdom in its own right. Between 1072 and 1157, it was again united with León, and after 1230, the union became permanent. Throughout that period, the Castilian kings made extensive conquests in southern Iberia at the expense of the Islamic principalities. The Kingdoms of Castile and of León, with their southern acquisitions, came to be known collectively as the Crown of Castile, a term that also came to encompass overseas expansion. History 9th to 11th centuries: beginnings According to the chronicles of Alfonso III of Asturias, the first reference to the name "Castile" (Castilla) can be found in a documen ...

Mafalda Of Portugal (born 1153)
Mafalda of Portugal (1153, Coimbra – after 1162) was a Portuguese ''infanta'', the fourth legitimate child and third daughter of Afonso Henriques (the first king of Portugal) and his wife Mafalda of Savoy. In January 1160, her father and Ramón Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona, negotiated the marriage of Mafalda to Alfonso, future King Alfonso II of Aragon who was three or four years old at that time. After the death of Ramón Berenguer IV in the summer of 1162, King Ferdinand II of León convinced his widow, Queen Petronilla, to cancel the infante's wedding plans with Mafalda and for Alfonso to marry instead Sancha, daughter Alfonso VII of León and his second wife Queen Richeza of Poland. This did not compromise the establishment of long-lived good relations between Portugal and Aragon, since Mafalda's younger brother Infante Sancho (future Sancho I of Portugal) married Dulce Dulce may refer to: Places * Dulce, New Mexico, United States, a census-designated place * ...
