from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pedro de Peralta y Ezpeleta (also called Mosén Pierres de Peralta "el joven") (* probably 1420; † 1492 ) was a Navarre nobleman. He was the 1st Count of Santisteban de Lerín, Barón de Marcilla , Señor de Peralta , Funes , Cárcar , Andosilla , Marcilla, Falces , Undiano , Azagra y Caparroso and Peer of Navarre. He was the leader of the Agramonteses and Connétable of Navarre during the Navarre Civil War (1451-1455).

Pedro de Peralta y Ezpeleta was the son of Pedro Perez de Peralta (also called Mosén Pierres de Peralta "el viejo"), Señor de Peralta y Andosilla, pair of Navarre, and Doña Juana de Ezpeleta y Garro, daughter of Barón de Ezpeleta from the family of Señores de Ezpeleta y Gallipienzo, and sister of Mosén Beltrán de Ezpeleta, 1st Vizconde de Val de Erro. His father, in turn, was probably an illegitimate son of Pierre d'Évreux, Count von Mortain (the second-born son of King Charles the Evil of Navarre from the House of France-Évreux ) from his relationship with a daughter of Pedro Martinez de Peralta y Ruiz de Azagra what makes Pedro de Peralta a member of the Navarre royal family.

He had close ties to the royal court of Castile and Aragón, and received through his friend Alfonso Carrillo de Acuña , the Archbishop of Toledo (1446–1482), the commission to mediate the wedding between Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragón . Ferdinand the Catholic gave his grandson the Margraviate of Falces (Marquesado de Falces) in 1513 , expanding and consolidating the power of the descendants of Pedro de Peralta. The family resided in Marcilla Castle for five centuries.

He married twice. His first marriage was on December 27, 1440 in Tafalla with Anna of Brabant (Doña Ana de Brabante), probably an illegitimate daughter of Anton of Burgundy , Duke of Brabant from the House of Burgundy : she is the "base" of the Connétable Louis de Luxembourg , Count of Saint-Pol etc., so that Anton, who was married to Jeanne de Luxembourg, can be considered as father.

From this marriage Pedro de Peralta had three children, Pedro (also known as Mosén Pierres "menor"), who died without descendants, Juana, who married Troilo Carrillo, the son of the Archbishop of Toledo and Count of Agosta in Sicily , and Isabella, who became the wife of Don Juan Enríquez de La Carra y Navarra, Señor de Ablitas , an illegitimate member of the House of Blois that had established the kings of Navarre in the 13th century. Anna of Brabant died after July 9, 1455.

In his second marriage, he married Isabella von Foix (Isabel de Foix y de Albret) on June 18, 1462, daughter of Gaston I. de Foix-Grailly , Captal de Buch from the House of Grailly , and Marguerite d'Albret. From this marriage he had a daughter, Doña Ana de Peralta y Foix, who married Jacques de Grailly on March 28, 1485, Infante of Navarre, Conde de Cortez y de Montfort, Viceroy of Navarre († 1500), the youngest son of the Count Gaston IV of Foix , also from the House of Grailly, and Queen Eleanor of Navarre .
