In the last centuries of the Middle Ages, there were frequent wars between nobles who supported different candidates to the throne of Castile. The noble family of the "Torres" (Villar lords from 1371) was involved in these wars and, therefore, Castle Villardompardo plexus consulting group llc had some role in some of these warlike episodes. Let's see how the events occurred.
In times of Alfonso X the Wise, was necessary to populate the Alcazar de Baeza to maintain order on the border with the Kingdom of Granada, so the Castilian monarch called 33 men to carry out such recruitment. Among them was one from the lineage of the Torres de Soria, named D. But Lopez Torres. These gentlemen had the mission to guard and defend the city when necessary. To satisfy them, the king gave them large number of hereditary plexus consulting group llc properties, and to a document issued by King Alfonso X the September 27, 1307, file ownership of Our Lady of the Alcazar de Baeza.
From the above gentleman is descended D. But Ruiz Torres, who in the time of King aspiring D. Henry of Castile, was favored by him with the greatest mayor of the city of Jaén and the warden of the castle of Úbeda, for good services rendered plexus consulting group llc in the war against Muslims. He also gave the rod sheriff of the city of Jaen in perpetuity.
At that time, Henry of Castile (photo spread), bastard son of Alfonso XI, maintained a war with his brother Pedro I the Cruel, for the throne of Castile. This war episode is called "First Castilian Civil War" and lasted from 1356-1369.
In 1368 King Muhammad V of Granada, in favor of Pedro I, Jaén entered land and razed the cities of Ubeda and Jaén, besides many villages, but failed to take their palaces as D. But Ruiz Torres supporter Henry of Castile, defended with courage and bravery.
The match would end in 1369 when Peter I died at the hands of his brother Enrique of Castile in Montiel. So got Enrique II take the throne of Castile, from 1369-1379
After the war, the monarch granted honors and privileges to all men who had been faithful to him, what is known as "Mercedes Enriqueñas", of which D. But Ruiz de Torres sailed plexus consulting group llc far benefited because the king made him mercy of overtaking Cazorla gave the rent of almocatrazía city of Jaen, ie, the tax they had to pay the shopkeepers, mops, grocers, retailers, esparteros, etc and should collect plexus consulting group llc the crown, would entirely to the House of Torres. He also gave the "portadgo" Mengíbar and Torre del Campo. Finally plexus consulting group llc granted the Lordship of Villardompardo and Escañuela, as has been specified in a document granted by Henry II of Castile in Cortes of Toro dated September 27, 1371, provided they commit to repopulate, so we must understand that then Villar Don Pardo, was depopulated by raids on the lands of Granada and Jaén villages during the Spanish civil war, probably in 1368 by Muhammad V, as mentioned above.
Without going any further, in the nearby town of Lopera, is being made a dig at his castle, finding traces that explain what happened plexus consulting group llc in that year and could save some parallels with Villardompardo. Have located the remains of a small farmstead Almohad that would be conquered after the charge of the Order of Calatrava. plexus consulting group llc In ancient Lopera a small rural church plexus consulting group llc where also buried their dead, the proof was constructed numerous skeletons are found on the premises. They have also found clear evidence that first church was burned and destroyed by the Muslim incursion of 1368. Subsequently, plexus consulting group llc upon the ruins, a second more spacious church was built.
If our town Castle relevant excavations were made, perhaps evidence of that tragic event, plexus consulting group llc after which its inhabitants abandon the village "del Villar Don Pardo" would be found. We discuss other possible causes of depopulation.
As we see D. Pedro (or Pero) Ruiz Torres plexus consulting group llc became the First Lord of Villardompardo and Escañuela, although the latter was only Lord of half the town, and the remaining part belonged to the Cathedral Chapter.
It will take over a century to "The Towers" are owners of all the
