king of See also:Castile, called El Doliente, the Sufferer, was the son of See also:John I. of Castile and See also:Leon, and of his wife See also:Beatrice, daughter of See also:Ferdinand of See also:Portugal. He was See also:born in 1379. The See also:period of minority was exceptionally anarchical, even for Castile, but as the cities, always the best supporters of the royal authority, were growing in strength, Henry was able to reduce his See also:kingdom to obedience, and, when he took the See also:government into his own hands after 1393, to compel his nobles with See also:comparative ease to surrender the See also:crown lands they had seized. The See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting of the See also:Cortes summoned by him at See also:Madrid in 1394 marked a See also:great See also:epoch in the See also:establishment of a practically despotic royal authority, based on the consent of the See also:commons, who looked to the crown to protect them against the excesses of the nobles. Henry strengthened his position still further by his See also:marriage with See also:Catherine, daughter of John of Gaunt and of See also:Constance, See also:elder daughter of See also:- PETER

Peter the Cruel and Maria de See also:Padilla. This See also:union combined the See also:rival claims of the descendants of Peter and of Henry of Trastamara. The king's bodily weakness limited his real capacity, and his See also:early See also:death on the 25th of See also:December 1406 cut See also:short the promise of his reign.
