Berengaria of Navarre

Berengaria of Navarre (c. 1165–1170 – 23 December 1230), queen of England, was the eldest daughter of King Sancho VI of Navarre and Sancha of Castile. Eleanor of Aquitaine arranged her marriage to Richard the Lionheart. Berengaria joined Richard on the Third Crusade; when her ship was imperilled off Cyprus, he conquered the island and married her at Limassol on 12 May 1191.

The marriage was childless, she saw Richard little and lived mostly in his lands in France, never visiting England. As a widow she gave to the church, although she struggled to collect her pension from John.
