Urraca the Restless died in childbirth, and her son Alfonso VII became king of Castile and León.

Urraca the Restless, queen of Castile and León, tragically passed away in childbirth at Saldaña de Burgos. This sudden loss had significant implications for the kingdom of Castile and León. Urraca's son from her first marriage to Raymond of Burgundy, Alfonso VII the Emperor of León and Castile, inherited the throne, but control over Castile remained with Alfonso the Battler. This led to a period of political instability and conflict as Alfonso VII sought to assert his authority over both kingdoms. Urraca's death marked the end of her tumultuous reign, characterized by power struggles and challenges to her authority. Despite the difficulties she faced, Urraca made important contributions to the consolidation of her territories and the strengthening of royal power. Her legacy as the first queen regnant of Castile and León paved the way for future female rulers in the region. #UrracaTheRestless #AlfonsoVIICastile #León #SpanishMonarchy
