Saint Ferdinand, also known as Ferdinand III of Castile, was born on July 30, 1199 and died on May 30, 1252. King of Castile and León, he played a crucial role in the Reconquista, the reconquest of Iberian territories occupied by the Moors. Under his rule, he managed to annex large areas, including Cordoba and Seville, thereby strengthening the Christian kingdom in Spain. Ferdinand was also known for his piety and devotion to the Catholic faith, leading to his canonization in 1671 by Pope Clement X. In addition to his military exploits, he encouraged culture and education, founding the University of Salamanca. His life and actions left an indelible mark on the history of medieval Spain.
