Treaty Of Benavente
The Treaty of Benavente, signed on 30 December 1230, was the agreement by which Sancha and Dulce, the heiresses of the Kingdom of León, renounced their throne to their brother, King Ferdinand III of Castile, thus uniting the kingdoms of León and Castile. Background The ''infantas'' (princesses) Sancha and Dulce were the daughters of Alfonso IX of León by his marriage to Theresa of Portugal.
