loyalty
None was better loved than King Peter,
and in the midst of treason he commanded
the perfect loyalty. Alcantara was faithful
and preferred anything to D. Enrique:
when the King of Portugal took up the
title of the princess Dona Beatriz, the
daughter of King Sancho the Bold, the
Master stood with him, and the cities of
Ledesma, Zamora, Ciudad Rodrigo, Coria,
and most of Galicia. He was defeated by
the Clavero, and fled to Portugal.
His successor, elected in absence by
Enrique de
compulsion of the King, was D. Ruy Diaz
Trastamara
de la Vega, chamberlain and intimate of
D. Enrique, and brother of Dona Ynez
Diaz de la Vega, by whom the King had
certain daughters—King Henry having in
fact a fairly wide connection in this regard.
One daughter, indeed, Dona Ysabel, was
privately married to D. Gonzalo Nunez
de Guzman before he took the habit of
Alcantara; King Henry discovered and
given to
women
