Battle of Nájera. Courtenay was a member of the English force under the command of Edward, the Black Prince, that had invaded Castile to reinstall Pedro the Cruel, an ally who had been deposed by his half-brother, Enrique Trastámara. The Castilian campaign was a tactical success for the English, who routed the French allied Trastámara, but it turned into a strategic failure with the refusal of Pedro to honor his commitments. Trastámara murdered Pedro in 1369. | ||
