She was the mother of Alfonso VI of Castile's only son, Sancho,[4] who, though illegitimate, was named his father's heir but was killed in the Battle of Uclés of 1108 during his father's lifetime. It has been suggested that Alfonso's fourth wife, Isabel, was identical to Zaida,[5] but this is still subject to scholarly debate, others making Queen Isabel distinct from the mistress[6][3] or suggesting that Alfonso had two successive wives of this name, with Zaida being the second Queen Isabel.[7] Alfonso's daughters Elvira and Sancha, were by Queen Isabel, and, hence, may have been Zaida's.[8]

man, you cannot always quote wiki as solid evidence.

See attachment from france and records showing Zaida as mother of Sancha, Sancho, and Elvire

Might also see what MedLands has to say about it - Cawley (site owner) cites primary documentation whenever available.

Why are things so messed up here and not one CURATOR is responding?

I posted French records showing Zaida to be the mother of Sancha NOT Isabel d France?

Too many profiles, too many snafus, too few Curators. It takes time.
