Description of Illustration: royal palace interior, crown, king, sovereignty, sword, emblems, lion
Ferdinand III (1199 or 1201 – 30 May 1252) was King of Castile from 1217 and King of León from 1230 as well as King of Galicia from 1231.
He was the son of Alfonso IX of León and Berenguela of Castile. Through his second marriage he was also Count of Aumale.
Ferdinand III was one of the most successful kings of Castile, securing
not only the permanent union of the crowns of Castile and León, but
also masterminding the most expansive campaign of Reconquista yet.
By military and diplomatic efforts, Ferdinand greatly expanded the
dominions of Castile into southern Spain, annexing many of the great old
cities of al-Andalus, including the old Andalusian capitals of Córdoba and Seville, and establishing the boundaries of the Castilian state for the next two centuries.
Ferdinand was canonized in 1671 by Pope Clement X and, in Spanish, he is known as
Fernando el Santo,
San Fernando or
San Fernando Rey. Places such as San Fernando, Pampanga, and the San Fernando de Dilao Church in Paco, Manila in the Philippines, and in California, San Fernando City and the San Fernando Valley, were named for him and placed under his patronage.
