===Second wife=== Richard's second marriage took place nearly four years after the death of his first wife. His new bride, whom he married in [[Westminster Abbey]] on 23 November 1243, was [[Sanchia of Provence]] ({{circa|1225}} – 9 November 1261), the third of four daughters of [[Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence]], by his wife [[Beatrice of Savoy]]. She was a younger sister of the Queens of France and England, while the youngest sister would later become Queen of Sicily. The match was arranged by Sanchia's elder sister [[Eleanor of Provence]], wife of Richard's elder brother King [[Henry III of England]]. Sanchia died on 9 November 1261 at [[Berkhamsted Castle]] and was buried 15 November in [[Hailes Abbey]] in [[Gloucestershire]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Goldstone|first1=Nancy|title=Four Queens: The Provençal Sisters who ruled Europe|date=2007|publisher=Viking|location=New York|isbn=978-0-670-03843-5|pages=217}}</ref> By Sanchia of Provence, Richard had a further two sons:<ref name="ReferenceA"/> *unnamed son (Jul 1246 – 15 Aug 1246), died in infancy. *[[Edmund, 2nd Earl of Cornwall]] (26 December 1249 – before 25 September 1300), usually styled ''Edmund of Almain''.
