Note

He was called The Saint. In 1217 Ferdinand's mother, Berengaria, renounced her title to the Castilian throne in favor of her son. Alfonso IX, who had himself expected to acquire Castile, was angered at his wife's action, and, aided by a groupof Castilian nobles favorable to his claim, made war upon his newly crowned son. Ferdinand, however, with the wise counsel of his mother, proved more than a military match for Alfonso, who at length was forced to abandon his plan of conqueringCastile. Through the good offices of Berengaria, Ferdinand was able to effect the peaceful union of Leon and Castile upon the Death of his father in 1230. Ferdinand devoted his energies to prosecuting the war against the Moors, conqueringCordoba in 1236 and Seville in 1248. He was rigorous in his suppression of the heretical Albigenses, a fact largely responsible for his canonizatio more than two centuries later. In 1242 Ferdinand reestablished at Salamanca the universityoriginally founded by his grandfather. |
