## Bio

Peter became King of Castile and León in 1350, at fifteen, and ruled for nineteen years. His reign split opinion so sharply that history handed him opposing labels: some called him the Cruel, others the Just. His treatment of the clergy grew severe enough that Pope Urban V excommunicated him. He was the last king of the main branch of the House of Ivrea. On 23 March 1369, his rule ended — he died at thirty-four.
