Everything about The Treaty Of The Bulls Of Guisando totally explained
The
Treaty of the Bulls of Guisando (
Spanish:
Tratado de los Toros de Guisando) is the name of a
treaty agreed on top of the hill of Guisando near the
Bulls of Guisando (located in
El Tiemblo,
Ávila,
Spain) on
September 18,
1468, between
Henry IV of Castile and his half-sister
Isabella of Castile. In this treaty Isabella was granted the title of
Princess of Asturias and therefore became heiress to the
Crown of Castile.
A civil war began in Castile in 1464 when a group of noblemen rebelled in an attempt to force the abdication of Henry IV. By 1465 they managed to symbolically dethrone the King and replace him with his son
Alfonso. With the death of Alfonso, in 1468, Isabella the half-sister of Henry IV, became the new candidate of the rebels. Rather than continuing the civil war, Isabella preferred to negotiate with Henry IV sending
Antonio de Veneris as mediator.
After several meetings in
Castronuevo a preliminary agreement was reached that would put an end to the civil war. The agreement was formalized in the Treaty of the Bulls of Guisando on
September 18,
1468. With the treaty the allegiance of the whole
Kingdom of Castile was to return to the King and Isabella was to become his heiress, receive the title of Princess of Asturias as well as a large endowment. Isabella was to marry only with the consent of the King. Finally, Juana, the King's daughter, was removed from the line of succession to the throne through the annulment of Henry's marriage to his wife.
Later on the unapproved wedding of Isabella with
Ferdinand of Aragon caused Henry IV to shun the Treaty. As a consequence the King recognized once more the rights of his daughter Juana in a ceremony that took place in
Val de Lozoya on
November 25,
1470. This was one of the events that eventually lead to the
War of the Castilian Succession a few years later.
