Urraca of León and Castile (1081-1126), also known as the Reckless Queen, ruled during a pivotal period in Spanish history. Her reign was marked by political instability and power struggles, much like the turbulent skies depicted in the Handley Page HPR.7 Dart-Herald G-APWC. This 11th-century queen's legacy is preserved in various historical texts and artworks, such as the illuminated page of the Codex Emilianense featuring Kings Recesvinto, Sisbert, and Egica. Mugica y Perez's 1857 painting, "Queen Urraca of Leon and Castile," captures her regal presence. Meanwhile, the 10th-century Mozarabic art in the Codex Vigilanus or Albeldensis showcases the rich cultural heritage that influenced Urraca's reign. Her sepulchre, created by Ruy Martinez de Bureba in 1203, stands as a testament to her enduring legacy. Urraca's story is one of the many fascinating tales of the medieval regents of Visigothic Hispania and Castile, including Chindasuinth and Ruy Martinez de Bureba.
