  Pedro of Castile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pedro was to be married to Joan Plantagenet, the daughter of Edward III of England, but on the way to Castille, she travelled through cities infested with plague, ignoring townspeople who had warned her not to enter the town.
Pedro's daughters by Maria de Padilla, Constance and Isabella, were each married to sons of Edward III, king of England, Constance to John of Gaunt and Isabella to Edmund of Langley.
The Chancellor Lopez de Ayala, the main source for Pedro's reign, was the official chronicler of the Trastámara, a servant of the new rulers and of Pedro's aristocratic adversaries.

 Peter I of Portugal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The three had escaped to Castile, but Pedro arranged for them to be exchanged with Castilian fugitives residing in Portugal with his nephew, the Castilian Pedro I. One man escaped, but the other two were brought to justice, and Lopes said that Pedro ripped their hearts out with his own bare hands.
Pedro was also the father of Fernando I and João I. João was the Master of the military order of Avis, and he would become the founder of the Avis dynasty in 1385 after defeating an attempt by Juan I to usurp the Portuguese throne.

 Chapter 12: A History of Aragon and Catalonia
Pedro did not grapple with the difficulty until 1351; he was occupied in negotiations for a third marriage, which he eventually contracted in 1349 with Leonor, a daughter of Pedro and Isabel, the rulers of Sicily.
Pedro IV was anxious to avoid a war, as he was then fully occupied with the affairs of Sardinia, but, in view of what had happened, he denounced the treaty between himself and the King of Castile; nor could the efforts of Pope Innocent VI preserve the peace between the two monarchs.
Pedro sent his eldest son, the Duke of Gerona, with the young man's uncle, the Infante Pedro, to the relief of the town, but was unable himself to take the field until April 1364, as he was occupied by his negotiations with the King of Navarre.

 Hundred Years War Timeline 1361 - 1370
Pedro IV of Castile pledges ships for the enterprise, and conquests are to be carried out by Bertrand du Guesclin, who is to have the whole of the Kingdom of Granada, and Hugh Caveley, who is to have all the overseas conquests.
The reality is that many of Pedro's best troops were in Valencia, garrisoning the towns recently taken from Pedro IV of Aragon, and that Pedro had aroused such hatred against himself that most of his nobles were not to be trusted to be loyal to him.
Pedro recants his promise of a general pardon, however, and orders a number of executions, including that of admiral Gil Bocanegra, and procrastinating on the payment of the large sums of money owed to Prince Edward and his supporters.

 DeCastro Family Story: chapter 4 - Origins (part 2)
Afonso's heir, Don Pedro, was born at Coimbra in 1320 and betrothed at the age of eight to the Infanta Blanca of Castile, but in view of the bride's illness and weakness of mind, the marriage was later dissolved, and at the age of sixteen Pedro married his second wife Donna Constanza.
Pedro the first of Portugal before his death organised with Pedro the first of Castile a military alliance which was sealed by three betrothals, that of the heir of Portugal Fernando to the King of Castile's daughter Beatriz, whilst the two sons of Inez de Castro Joao and Denis, would also marry Castilian princesses.
On the death of Pedro of Castile Fernando became a claimant to the throne of Castile basing his claim on his descent from Sancho III and his marriage with the daughter of the late King.

 Chapter 17: A History of Aragon and Catalonia
This struggle was definitely decided in favour of the Crown by the victory of Epila, after which Pedro IV, at the Cortes of Zaragoza in 1448, abolished the Privilege, while preserving the essential liberties of Aragon, and returning in general to the position as it had existed under James II.
Pedro's successors made few changes in the constitution, as he had left it, which was thus based upon royal absolutism, though this did not imply the suppression of a very large number of local privileges and customs.
When Pedro of Castile attacked the port of Barcelona in [260] 1359, one of the guardships is said to have discharged a "bombard" which severely damaged one of the invading vessels; but it does not appear that cannon of any kind were a regular part of naval armament at that time.

Don Pedro of Castile lost an opportunity which might have thrown the balance of things towards his side, when he declined the intervention on his behalf with the leaders of the English Companies of the Seigneur d’Albret, a vassal of the King of England.
Don Pedro evidently thought himself in a desperate state, though he had not yet relinquished all idea of holding his crown, for we can detect the outlines of a plan of defence in his movements and orders at this time.
As for Pedro IV., he began to insist on a speedy payment for such services to the cause as he had already rendered, and was in no wise anxious to supply the reinforcements which Don Enrique sought of him.

 Chapter 2: The Mendoza Family in the Spanish Renaissance 1350-1550
Pedro González accomplished this by abandoning king Pedro in 1366 and supporting the illegitimate pretender to the throne, Enrique de Trastámara.
Pedro González de Mendoza himself was mayordomo mayor to Juan I (13379-1390); and his brother-in-law, Pedro López de Ayala, became canciller mayor of Castile.
Pedro González de Mendoza and his in-laws thus held the two highest political offices of the kingdom and two of the territorial military commands.

Pedro was redhaired, blue-eyed, broad-shouldered, hot-tempered, chivalrous, brave, a good swordsman, a bad liar, and a miser when it came to hanging on to his illusions.
When Pedro came upon two ruffians in the forest attacking Catana Pérez (clad only in her shoes, stocking and a torn shift), he cut one with his whip and rode the other down with his horse, though Catana was only a tavern keeper's daughter.
He was also Pedro's rival for the hand of lovely, aristocratic Luisa de Carvajal ("the perfume of her clothes set Pedro's pulses throbbing").

 BRILL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
This work deals with the reign of Pedro I of Castile (1350-1369), known as “The Cruel,” one of the most notorious and misunderstood figures in the annals of peninsular history.
This is the first book on the subject that analyzes Pedro's rule in light of social, political, diplomatic, and economic conditions in mid-14th century Castile.
Using extant primary documentation from archival sources and the most recent findings of scholars from various fields, the book explores in detail the historical basis for Pedro's reputation and the extent to which this reputation unfairly rests on the testimony of Pero López de Ayala, the reign's principal chronicler.

 El Transito Synagogue, Toledo, Spain
Samuel Ha-Levi Abulafia is remembered as the founder of a number of synagogues in the Kingdom of Castile, but the one constructed on the grounds of his palace in Toledo was by far the grandest.
The coat of arms of the Kingdom of Castile is repeated a number of times on the walls of the synagogue as a proof to the loyalty of the local Jews to the King.
The style of the El Transito synagogue as well as other surviving Jewish medieval monuments in Spain served as source of inspiration for numerous synagogues that were built in Europe during the 19th century.

 Sample Chapter for Meyerson, M.D.: A Jewish Renaissance in Fifteenth-Century Spain.
According to this narrative, the Jews of the Christian realms of Castile and the Crown of Aragon experienced, from roughly the end of the twelfth century until the second quarter of the fourteenth, a kind of golden age, analogous to the one their ancestors had enjoyed in Muslim Spain prior to the Almohad persecutions.
In 1365, two years after the invading army of Pedro I of Castile captured and occupied Morvedre, the local Castilian commander expelled from the town a number of Christians and the whole Jewish community, all deemed loyal to King Pere.
Thus when Enrique de Trastámara led the nobility in an ultimately successful revolt against Pedro I, he was able to provoke popular outrage against the king and the Jews, and to inspire attacks on the latter, by excoriating the king and his Jewish advisors for their alleged rapacity and cruelty.
