<P> Berengaria never visited England during King Richard 's lifetime ; during the entirety of their marriage , Richard spent less than six months in England . There is evidence , however , that she may have done so in the years following his death . The traditional description of her as `` the only English queen never to set foot in the country '' would still be literally true , as she did not visit England during the time she was Richard 's consort . She certainly sent envoys to England several times , mainly to inquire about the pension she was due as dowager queen and Richard 's widow , which King John failed to pay . Although Queen Eleanor intervened and Pope Innocent III threatened him with an interdict if he did not pay Berengaria what was due , King John still owed her more than £ 4000 when he died . During the reign of his son Henry III of England , however , her payments were made as they were supposed to be . </P>
