Jimena Sánchez (queen)

[3] In 1035, Sancho arranged the marriage of Jimena to King Bermudo III of León, who was about the same age or slightly older.

[5] On the latter date, Bermudo and Jimena granted a diploma to the diocese of Palencia, which her father had restored, defining its boundaries.

[8] According to the 13th-century historian Lucas de Tuy, Jimena and Bermudo had one son, Alfonso Vermúdez, who died after only a few days.

[9] In 1036, she was a witness with her husband when her grandmother and namesake made a donation to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.

[14] She was still living on 21 December 1062 or 1063, when she signed a document recording a donation to León Cathedral made by Ferdinand and Sancha.

[15] Two days later, she witnessed her brother donating the monastery of Santa Marta de Tera [es] to the diocese of Astorga.
