Castilian nobles rebelling against King Juan II of Castile and his unpopular Constable, Don Alvaro de Luna, were supported by an invasion by Henry of Aragon and his brother, Juan of Navarre. Taking the field in person, the King of Castile defeated the brothers at Olmedo, south of Valladolid, where Henry died of wounds. De Luna later fell from Royal favour and was beheaded for murder.
