Juan de la Cerda (* 1327 , † 1357 in Seville by execution) was lord of El Puerto de Santa María and Gibraleón and Vogt of Seville.

family

Juan de la Cerda was the son of Luis de la Cerda , Count of Clérmont and Talmont, Lord of Deza and Enciso , and his wife Leonor de Guzmán , Lady of Huelva and El Puerto de Santa María . Thus he was the grandson of Alfonso de la Cerda and Mahalda de Brienne-Eu (Mafalda of Narbonne ).

He married María Alfonso Coronel, mistress of Aguilar, daughter of Alfonso Fernández Coronel and Elvira Alfón de Biedma. They had a daughter, Leonor de la Cerda, who died early and was buried in the Santa Inés Convent in Seville. Before his marriage to María Alfonso Coronel, Juan de la Cerda had a son with Sol Martínez, whose ancestry is unknown, Martín González de la Cerda (in Portugal: Martim Gonçalves de Lacerda ) (* around 1341 in Seville; † in Portugal).

execution

He became a partisan of Henry of Trastámara during the First Castilian Civil War and was therefore executed on the orders of Peter the Cruel in Seville in the Torre del Oro and buried in the Santa Inés monastery.
