I'm going through the photos I took last June in the Monastery of Santa María la Real, Nájera. I found another "Reyna" Blanca, which makes three. Can one of you (probably Kathar1na) sort them out for me?
The first photo is of the one in the Panteón de los Infantes, and the information given with it says it is the cover of the sarcophagus of Blanca Garcés (1135-56), daughter of García Ramírez, wife of Sancho III and mother of Alfonso VIII. The second photo says that it is the tomb of "La Reina Doña Blanca de Castilla Mujer de Don Sancho Deseado de Castilla". The third photo is of another tomb on which is the inscription: "LA REYNA DONA BLANCA MUJER DE DON SANCHO REY".
There are too many Sanchos, and seemingly three Blancas.
