Castilian nobleman From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pedro Rodríguez de Castro (fl. 1171–1191), second son of Rodrigo Fernández de Castro the bald and Eylo Álvarez, daughter of Álvar Fáñez, and of the Countess Mayor Perez, was a Castilian nobleman of the lineage of the Castro. Just like his great-grandfather, count Pedro Ansúrez, he was Butler of Leon in 1184 and tenente of Grado, Tineo, Pravia, and Limia.[1] The Count of Barcelos in his Nobiliario, and Argote de Molina in his nobility of Andalusia, called him "the monk" as he entered religion after becoming a widower.
