Felicia of Roucy (c. 1060 – 3 May 1123) was a queen consort of Aragon and Navarre. She was a daughter of Hilduin IV of Montdidier,[1] and his wife Alice of Roucy. They were Picards.
Felicia was married in 1076 to Sancho Ramírez,[1] then king of Aragon after he had divorced his first wife, Isabella of Urgell. His accession to the crown of Navarre later that year made her the first Aragonese consort to be also Queen consort of Navarre. She is attested shortly before her husband's death and is now thought to have outlived Sancho. The supposed subsequent marriage of Sancho to a third wife, Philippa of Toulouse, that appeared in a later chronicle, is now thought to be erroneous.
