Life

She was the only daughter of King Martin I of Sicily and Agatuccia Pesce. She was born out of wedlock in Sicily. Before Blanche I of Navarre's having arrived in Sicily to get married to her father, king Martin the Young sent her and her younger brother Fadrique (illegitimate son of King Martin I of Sicily and Tarsia Rizzari) to the Aragonese court for his mother, queen Maria de Luna's taking care of her illegitimate grandchildren.[2] She got married twice. First husband was Enrique Pérez de Guzmán, 2nd Count de Niebla but she was repudiated and the marriage was annulled. This marriage remained childless.[3] Her second spouse was Martín Fernández de Guzmán, the son of Alvár Pérez de Guzmán, 6th lord of Orgaz. She gave birth to three daughters.[4] She died in 1428.
