       Blanche (of Castile)
Born:Mar 1188
Died:Nov 1252

Daughter of Eleanor (Daughter of Henry II) and Alfonso, King of Castile. Married Louis VIII, King of France. Louis VIII died in 1226 leaving Louis VIX, his son, as the new king of France. But Louis VIX was only around twelve years old when his father died and so Blanche became regent of France and ruled on his behalf. She ruled France initially from 1226 to 1234 when Louis was old enough to rule unaided and again from 1248 until her death in 1252 while Louis was on crusade. Blanche could be thought of as an equal with the kings of France as while she was Regent she managed to protect the country against Henry III who wanted to retake lands that King John had lost. She also defended France against the powerful barons of Brittany, and Toulouse. She arranged the money for Louis to go on crusade.

This Robert Bruce was the grandfather of Robert I, the Bruce, king of Scotland. Confusion can arise because the eldest sons of the Bruce family were traditionally called Robert. Robert was one of many to claim the Scottish throne after the death of Alexander III of Scotland and the death of his granddaughter Margaret, the Maid of Norway, who died on the voyage to Scotland. Edward I of England chose John Balliol as the next King of Scotland.
