See also:ALPHONSO 1X . (1188–1230) of See also:Leon, first See also:cousin of Alphonso VIII. of See also:Castile, and numbered next to him as being a junior member of the See also:family (see the See also:article See also:SPAIN for the See also:division of the See also:kingdom and the relationship), is said by See also:Ibn Khaldun to have been called the " Baboso " or Slobberer, because he was subject to fits of rage during which he foamed at the mouth. Though he took a See also:part in the See also:work of the reconquest, this See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)
- KING, CHARLES WILLIAM (1818-1888)
- KING, CLARENCE (1842–1901)
- KING, EDWARD (1612–1637)
- KING, EDWARD (1829–1910)
- KING, HENRY (1591-1669)
- KING, RUFUS (1755–1827)
- KING, THOMAS (1730–1805)
- KING, WILLIAM (1650-1729)
- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
king is chiefly remembered by the difficulties into which his successive marriages led him with the See also:pope. He was first married to his cousin Teresa of See also:Portugal, who See also:bore him two daughters, and a son who died See also:young. The See also:marriage was declared null by the pope, to whom
Alphonso paid no See also:attention till he was presumably tired of his wife. It cannot have been his See also:conscience which constrained him to leave Teresa, for his next step was to marry Berengaria of Castile, who was his second cousin. For this See also:act of See also:contumacy the king and kingdom were placed under See also:interdict. The pope was, however, compelled to modify his See also:measures by the See also:threat that if the See also:people could not obtain the services of See also:religion they would not support the See also:clergy, and that See also:heresy would spread. The king was See also:left under interdict personally, but to that he showed himself indifferent, and he had the support of his clergy. Berengaria left him after the See also:birth of five See also:children, and the king then returned to Teresa, to whose daughters he left his kingdom by will.
