Doña Sancha

Vía Tolosana in English



Doña Sancha was a very important woman. She had great power although it was difficult for a woman to have power in the Middle Ages.

She had two sisters called Teresa and Urraca. She also had two brothers called Ramiro I and García. (This is wrong, Ramiro was her father)

She married Count Ermengol III of Urgell and they didn´t have any children. When her husband died she decided that she would never marry again, so she went into the monastery of Santa María.

She was a powerful woman in Jacetania.
