http://en.fundacionmedinaceli.org/casaducal/fichaindividuo.aspx?id=599 Alfonso XI of Castile From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Alfonso XI) A Status of Alfonso XI is in Algeciras Alfonso XI (Salamanca, August 13, 1311 – March 26/27, 1350 in Gibraltar) was the king of Castile and Le³n, the son of Ferdinand IV of Castile and his wife Constance of Portugal. He is variously known among Castilian kings as the Avenger or the Implacable, and as "He of Salado River."The first two names he earned by the ferocity with which he repressed the disorder of the nobles after a long minority; the third by his victory in the Battle of Rio Salado over the last formidable Marinid invasion of Spain in 1340. Alfonso XI never went to the insane lengths of his son Pedro of Castile, but he could be bloody in his methods. He killed for reasons of state without form of trial. He openly neglected his wife, Maria of Portugal, and had an ostentatious passion for Eleanor of Guzman, who bore him ten children. This set Peter an example which he failed to better. It may be that his early death, during the Great Plague of 1350, at the Siege of Gibraltar, only averted a desperate struggle with Peter, though it was a misfortune in that it removed a ruler of eminent capacity, who understood his subjects well enough not to go too far. Marriage and children Alfonso XI first married Costanza Manuel of Castile on 1325, but divorced her two years later. His second marriage, on 1328, was to Maria of Portugal, daughter of Alfonso IV of Portugal. She was the mother of his sons Fernando (Valladolid, 1332 – 1333) and Pedro of Castile. By his mistress, Eleanor of Guzman, he had ten children: * Pedro, 1st Lord of Aguilar de Campoo (1330 - 1338) * Juana, 1st Lady of follar Trastamara (born 1330) * Sancho, 1st Lord of Ledesma (1331 - 1343) * Henry of Trastamara (1334 - 1379) * Fadrique, Master of the Order of Santiago and 1st Lord of Haro; (born 1335) * Fernando, 2nd Lord of Ledesma * Tello, 1st Lord of Aguilar de Campoo (1337-1370) * Juan, 1st Lord of Badajoz and Jerez de la Frontera (1341 - 1359) * Sancho of Alburquerque (1342-1375) * Pedro (1345 - 1359) After Alfonso's death, his widow Maria had Eleanor arrested and later killed (1).

ES II:63

Afonso XI era filho da infanta Constança de Portugal e de Fernando IV de Leão e Castela. Era por isso neto materno da Rainha Santa Isabel e do rei D. Dinis de Portugal, e neto paterno de Maria de Molina e Sancho IV de Leão e Castela. Os seus pais morreram muito cedo: Fernando veio a falecer em campanha em 1312 e Constança de Portugal faleceu um ano mais tarde, com apenas 23 anos.Assim, foi aclamado rei em Jaén em 1312, com três meses de idade. A regência foi entregue à sua avó paterna, a rainha-avó Maria de Molina, que também foi tutora da irmã mais velha de Afonso, a infanta Leonor de Castela, futura consorte de Afonso IV de Aragão. Maria seria regente do reino de 1312 a 1321, data da sua morte, e só em 1325 Afonso atingiria a maioridade e assumiria o controlo do reino.Armado cavaleiro no mosteiro real de Las Huelgas em Burgos a 1331, iniciou imediatamente um conflito contra o seu sogro Afonso IV de Portugal, que cessaria com a aliança entre os dois monarcas para a batalha do Salado. Em Guadalupe na província de Cáceres, mandou construir um grandioso mosteiro que doaria à Ordem de São Jerónimo.
