Berengaria (c.1164/5-c.1230), queen of Richard I. The daughter of Sancho VI of Navarre, Berengaria was married to Richard while he was on the Third Crusade. On her journey to the Holy Land, Berengaria was shipwrecked off Cyprus and threatened by the ruler, Isaac Comnenus. Richard captured the island and married Berengaria, who was also crowned queen, in Limassol in May 1191. Thereafter, she saw her husband only rarely and England never.
