Peter of Castile was born on August 30, 1334 in Burgos, Spain. He was the son and successor of Alfonso XI of Castile and became king of Castile and León at the age of 16. His mother and her courtiers had a strong influence on his early reign, but he eventually freed himself from their control with the help of the minister Alburquerque. Peter was forced to marry Blanche of Bourbon, but he deserted her shortly after. He spent much of his reign in a war with Aragon, known as the "War of the Two Peters", and gained notoriety for his brutal murders, earning him the nickname Peter the Cruel. He faced much competition from his half-brothers, including Henry of Trastámara who ultimately assassinated him.

The change of dynasty can be considered as the epilogue of the first act of a long struggle between the Castilian monarchy and the aristocracy; this struggle was to continue for more than three centuries and come to an end only under Charles I of Spain, the grandson of Ferdinand II of Aragon (Ferdinand V of Castile) and Isabella I of Castile (The Catholic Monarchs), in the first quarter of the 16th century.
