'''Peter of Castile''' (June 1260, in [[Seville]]&nbsp;– 10 October 1283, in [[Ledesma, Salamanca|Ledesma]]), was an infante of Castile. He was a son of [[Alfonso X of Castile]] and [[Violant of Aragon]] who was also called Yolanda or Yolante.
He was Lord (''señor'') of [[Ledesma, Salamanca|Ledesma]], [[Alba de Tormes]], [[Salvatierra/Agurain|Salvatierra]], [[Miranda del Castañar]], [[Galisteo, Cáceres|Galisteo]] and [[Granadilla de Abona|Granadilla]].
==Biography==
He received from his father the command of the Christian troops during the failed [[Siege of Algeciras (1278–79)]].<br>
In 1281, Peter participated in his father's campaign  against the [[Kingdom of Granada]].
When his eldest brother, Crown Prince [[Ferdinand de la Cerda]], died before his father, Peter supported his brother [[Sancho IV of Castile]], against the wishes of his father, who had appointed Ferdinand's son [[Alfonso de la Cerda]] as his successor.
For this, Peter was disinherited by his father.
==Marriage and issue==
