Sancho II (1036/1038 – 7 October 1072), called the Strong (''el Fuerte''), was King of Castile (1065–72), Galicia (1071–72) and León (1072). Family Born at Zamora, Sancho was the eldest son of Ferdinand the Great and Sancha of León. He was married to Alberta, known by name only from her appearance as Sancho's wife in contemporary charters. Chronicler William of Poitiers related that competition for the hand of a daughter of William I, King of England led to strife between two sons of Ferdinand I, and some historians have thus speculated that Sancho's wife, with her non-Iberian name, may have been the daughter in question. However, two later Norman chroniclers report that it was Alfonso VI's betrothed, and not Sancho's wife Alberta, who was William's daughter. After Ferdinand the Great defeated and killed his wife's brother in battle, he was crowned King of León and Castile and called himself ''Imperator totius Hispaniae'' ("Emperor of all of Spain").
