Juan Núñez de Prado (died 1355), illegitimate son of ''Infanta'' Blanche of Portugal and a Portuguese nobleman named Pedro Nunes Carpinteyro, was a nobleman in the 14th century who became Master of the Order of Calatrava in 1325 after leading a revolt against the former Master. There was a prolonged dispute before his position was recognized. After he fell out of favor with King Peter of Castile he was removed from office and murdered. ==Early years== Juan Núñez de Prado was a knight of the Order of Calatrava. He and other knights rose against the Master Garci López de Padilla, who was discredited because of his failure in his fight against the Taifa of Jaén, and his poor performance in an expedition against the Muslims of the Emirate of Granada, where he was supposed to have fled from the battlefield. The rebellious knights made Villareal, the future Ciudad Real, their stronghold, since some of them were from that town. They defeated the Master Garci López de Padilla at the Battle of Malas Tardes. In 1325 Alfonso XI of Castile granted the wishes of the rebel knights and friars, who came to the court at Valladolid to indict the master on four counts. The first was dereliction of the strongholds that the master Garci had left without supplies and that had been lost, including those of Alcaudete, Locubín, Susaña, Chist and Mathet. The second was that having fled the fighting during the battle of Baena he had left the friars who accompanied him. The third was the authoritarianism and cruelty of the master in his treatment of his friars. Fourth was his attacks on places and vassals of the Crown, particularly in Villarreal. The master was summoned to the royal court, but fled to Alcañiz, headquarters of the Aragonese dominions of the Order of Calatrava. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Juan Núñez de Prado (Grand Master of Calatrava)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
