Enrique II Trastámara of Castile and Léon dies at Burgos May 29 at age 46 after a 10-year reign in which he has made vast land grants to noblemen and concessions to cities in return for support against claims by the daughters of the late Pedro the Cruel. Enrique's 21-year-old son inherits the crown and will reign until 1390 as Juan I in the face of claims by John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster and son-in-law of Pedro the Cruel, who has the backing of Portugal's Fernãndo I (see 1386).
