The infobox at the top of the article page states that Berengaria is buried in the Capilla Real, Granada. However, Granada was still in Muslim possession at the time of Berengaria's death and remained so for nearly another 250 years - and the foundation of the Capilla Real there only happened after the conquest in 1492. I therefore suspect that this is an error, and that she is probably buried elsewhere - most likely, as she apparently died at Las Huelgas, in the Panteón Real there (as the quote in the note just above this already says). But I have not located any sources on this point that I can be sure are reliable. PWilkinson ( talk) 12:52, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
I see in the GA Review section (which is not to be modified) that the phrase "Her nanny, Doña Elvira", is rendered "her nurse". I agree. "Nanny" is, I believe, English slang for a nurse, and wouldn't have been used in 12th-13th Century Castile. Terry Thorgaard ( talk) 13:49, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
Well, since "nurse" is an English word, of course not; there would be some Castilian (or archaic Spanish) term. But this is the English version of Wikipedia. See the Wictionary entry for "nurse": "Etymology ... Variant form of the archaic nourice, from Old French norrice, from Latin nutricius (“that nourishes”), from nutrix (“wet nurse”), from nutrire (“to suckle”)." And that, of course, is immaterial anyway: Wikipedia is a 21st Century thing. Terry Thorgaard ( talk) 15:56, 28 April 2015 (UTC) I guess my point should have been that it would be better to use "nurse" than the slang substitute "nanny".

En primer lugar disculparme pero no hablo ingles, segundo una corrección, el libro de Julio Gonzalez El reino de Castilla en la época de Alfonso VIII se publico el año 1960, no en el año 1969, tampoco conozco ninguna edición de ese año. saludos Luis1970 ( talk) 21:34, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
