History

Sancho VII

Sancho VII el Fuerte took part he took in the ill fated Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (1212). Having lost the Christian Kingdoms, Sancho VII returned to Navarre.

Sancho VII's relations with the countries north of the Pyrenees were notably better than his Castilian ones. Several Pyreneean counties declared themselves his vassals and he concluded treaties with John, King of England, and Pedro II de Aragón. With the former he signed at Tudela, in 1231, a treaty stating that whoever survived the other would inherit unopposed the other's kingdom.

Sancho went into retirement at Tudela at some point, when his youngest sister Blanca came from Champagne and took administration of the kingdom until she died in 1229. His eldest sister, Berengaria, Queen of England, died in 1232, thus leaving Sancho alone among the children of Sancho VI. When he died in his castle at Tudela Blanca's son Theobald IV of Champagne was recognized as the next monarch of Navarre on April 1234 by the Cortes of Navarre.

Under the House of Champagne

Thus the Kingdom of Navarre, though the crown was still claimed by the kings of Aragon, passed by marriage to the House of Champagne, firstly to the heirs of Blanca, who were simultaneously counts of Champagne and Brie, with the support of the Navarrese Cortes. Also Blanche of Castile, regent to the future French king Louis IX, had interest in cutting down Pedro II's territorial expansions and its Navarrese link.
