Life
Statue of praying Eleanor of Aragon in her tomb.
On June 18, 1375, in Soria, Eleanor married Juan I of Castile [2] . Her marriage was part of the peace treaty between Aragon and Castile, which was signed in Almasan on April 12, 1374 and in Lleida on May 10, 1375.
Eleanor and Juan have been married for seven years. They had three children:
- Enrique (October 4, 1379 - December 25, 1406), succeeded his father as king of Castile [2]
- Ferdinand (November 27, 1380 - April 2, 1416), became king of Aragon in 1412 [2]
- Eleanor (born August 13, 1382)
On August 13, 1382, Eleanor died, giving birth to a third child — daughter Eleanor, who died that day. Six months after her death, Juan remarried.
The son of Eleanor Ferdinand became king of Aragon, when both brothers of his mother left no heirs.
