      Alfonso IX, (b. 1171, Zamora, Leon--d. Sept. 24, 1230, Villanueva deSarria, Galicia), king of Leon from 1188 to 1230, son of Ferdinand II ofLeon and first cousin of Alphonso VIII of Castile, and numbered next tohim as being a junior member of the family, is said by Ibn Khaldun tohave been called the "Baboso" or Slobberer, because he was subject tofits of rage, during which he foamed at the mouth. Though he took a partin the work of the reconquest, this king is chiefly remembered by thedifficulties into which his successive marriages led him with the pope.He was first married to his cousin, Teresa of Portugal, who bore him twodaughters and a son who died young. The marriage was declared null by thepope, to whom Alphonso paid no attention till he was presumably tired ofhis wife. It cannot have been his conscience which constrained him toleave Teresa, for his next step was to marry Berengaria of Castile, whowas his second cousin. For this act of contumacy the king and kingdomwere placed under interdict. The pope was, however, compelled to modifyhis measures by the threat that if the people could not obtain theservices of religion they would not support the clergy, and that heresywould spread. The king was left under interdict personally, but to thathe showed himself indifferent, and he had the support of his clergy.Berengaria left him after the birth of five children, and the king thenreturned to Teresa, to whose daughters he left his kingdom by will.[Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. 1, p. 688, ALPHONSO IX of Leon]
