Notes about Enrique Henry "TheSenator" Fernandez Prince of Castile [[ChWikibio]] sss

Son of Fernando III and Beatriz. Among the more colorful royals of the 13th
century, he too rebelled against Alfonso X and following Enrique's defeat at
Moron in 1255 he had to flee from Castile. His cousin Louis IX of France
refused to have anything to do with him, so he took refuge at the English court
where his half-sister Eleanor was married to Edward, the heir to the throne.
After four comfortable years there, Henry III had to ask him to leave, so he
went off to africa to serve as a mercenary with the Muslims in Morocco. In the
1260s he joined his kinsman charles, count of Anjou, in the latter's campaign
to subdue southern Italy and becom king of Sicily. Charles thought highly of
him and saw to it that Henry was made Senator of Rome. In 1268 when Henry's
maternal cousin Conradin of Swabia (Hohenstaufen) made his ill-advised invasion
of Italy, Henry of Castile abruptly abandoned Charles and joined Conradin.
After the latter's defeat at Tagliacozzo and execution, Henry vanished into aNeapolitan prison for 30 years. There are indications in English royal wardrobe
accounts that his sister, Queen Eleanor of England, kept in touch with him
during these years. Freed in 1298, Henry returned to Castile, where he served
as a politically erracit regent for his grandnephew, Ferdinand IV. He died in
August 1304, having allegedly married a lady of the Lara family, but he left no
reliably documented issue. [John Carmi Parsons <(XXXXX@XXXX.XXX)]
