In Popular Culture
An image of Blanche of Castille has been used on the home kit of French Rugby Union team Stade Français since the 2008 season.
During the 1950s French restaurateur Noël Corbu claimed that Blanche of Castile had deposited a treasure in Rennes-le-Château that was later discovered by Bérenger Saunière during the late 19th century. This was later utilised by Pierre Plantard in his development of the Priory of Sion mythology.
