Blanche of Castile (1188–1252)

Queen of France, wife of Louis VIII of France, and regent for her son Louis IX (St Louis of France) from the death of her husband in 1226 until Louis IX's majority 1234, and again from 1247 while he was on a Crusade.

She quelled a series of revolts by the barons and in 1229 negotiated the Treaty of Paris, by which Toulouse came under control of the monarchy.
