Life

Arms of Maria of Aragon

On 27 October 1418, Maria's engagement to her first cousin, King John II of Castile, was celebrated in Medina del Campo. The marriage was officialized on 4 August 1420, when John reached the age of majority. Maria was granted the incomes of the towns of Molina de Aragón, Huete, Atienza, Deza, Arévalo, and Soria.

Maria was occasionally politically active on behalf of her brothers, the princes of Aragon; she disregarded her husband's policy in favor of her brothers and the relationship between Maria and John was somewhat tense.

After her death on 18 February 1445, her husband married Isabella of Portugal and they became the parents of Isabella I of Castile. Maria has no descendants today, her line having gone extinct within a few decades of her death.
