Editing Peter II of Aragon (section)

==Marriage==
On 15 June 1204 Peter married (as her third husband) [[Marie of Montpellier]],<ref>Damian J. Smith, ''Crusade, Heresy and Inquisition in the Lands of the Crown of Aragon (c. 1167–1276)'', (Brill, 2010), 31.</ref> daughter and heiress of [[William VIII of Montpellier]] by [[Eudokia Komnene, wife of William VIII of Montpellier|Eudocia Comnena]]. She gave him a son, [[James I of Aragon|James]], but Peter soon repudiated her. Marie was popularly venerated as a saint for her piety and marital suffering, but was never canonized; she died in Rome in 1213. Marie also perhaps bore Peter II a daughter, "Sancha", at [[Collioure]] in October 1205 according to Christian Nique.<ref name=Nique2013>{{cite web |language=fr| last = Nique | first = Christian | year = 2013 | title = Les deux visages de Marie de Montpellier (1182–1213) | publisher = Académie des Sciences et Lettres de Montpellier | url = http://www.ac-sciences-lettres-montpellier.fr/academie_edition/fichiers_conf/NIQUE%202013.pdf }}</ref> ("Sancha" was born in 1206 according to other accounts; in 1208 according to Mark Gregory Pegg,<ref>{{cite book | last = Pegg  | year = 2008 | title = A Most Holy War: The Albigensian Crusade and the Battle for Christendom | publisher = Oxford | isbn =978-0195171310 }}</ref> but February 1208 is more likely the year the couple's son was born). Sancha was betrothed to Raymond VII the son Count Raymond VI of Toulouse, not long after her birth, according to Nique, only days (sources differ as to how long). The marriage contract included Marie's inheritance, Montpellier, which was to be passed to the child immediately should something happen to Peter, says Nique, citing documents discovered in 1850,<ref>{{cite book |language=fr| author = André Germaine | translator = Rouquette | year = 1996 | orig-year = 1884 | title = Preface, le Liber instrumentorum memorialium | publisher = la Société archéologique de Montpellier }}; cited in {{cite web |language=fr| author = Nique | year = 2013 | title = Les deux visages de Marie de Montpellier (1182–1213)}}</ref> something Marie would at first not agree to, but finally agreed to a few months later, stating that she had agreed under pressure.<ref name=Nique2013 /> However the child's younger brother James makes no mention of her and Sancha was apparently dead before the New Year, according to Nique's information.<ref name=Nique2013 />
