Diego López de Pacheco, 2nd Duke of Escalona

[1] In the War of the Castilian Succession, Diego and his father supported Juana la Beltráneja, who lost the battle for the throne.

Diego, who had become 2nd Duke of Escalona after the death of his father in October 1474, submitted to Isabella I of Castile after, in 1476, he failed to be elected as Grand Master of the Order of Santiago.

He accepted a pardon, but a year later was forced to surrender after his town of Escalona, which was fortified, was captured.

Diego López Pacheco fought as general against the Moors, and was present in the final Siege of Granada in 1492, which ended the Moorish presence in Spain.

Juana Enríquez and Diego López Pacheco are buried in the El Parral monastery in Segovia.
