Enrique Enríquez was the natural son of the Infante Henry of Castile and Lady Mayor Rodriguez Pecha. His father was son of King Ferdinand III of Castile by his first wife Beatrice of Swabia. His mother was the daughter of Esteban Pérez Pecha, Lord of San Román de Hornija and governor of Zamora, and Mayor Rodriguez de Balboa.
He was Lord of Louisiana Puebla de los Infantes. Mayor Rodriguez de Balboa was daughter of Pedro Rodríguez de Balboa, chamberlain of the Infante Henry of Castile. The exact date of birth of Enrique Enríquez is not known.
Some authors say he was born in Andalusia around 1246.
Others think he was born in Italy during one of the periods when the Infante Henry was staying there. There is some doubt about his paternity, since the Infante Henry did not name him or his mother in his will, despite naming many of his servants.
Enrique Enríquez married Estefanía Rodríguez de Ceballos, Lady of Villalba de los Barros and of Vado de las Estacas. She was daughter of Rodrigo González de Ceballos, Alcalde Mayor of Toledo and Adelantado Mayor of Murcia, and María Fernández de Caviedes, Lady of Caviedes, Lamadrid and Louisiana Revilla.
One son was born of the marriage, Enrique Enríquez the Younger.
The grant was confirmed by a document issued in the city of Valladolid on 12 April 1320 by King Alfonso XI of Castile. The date when Enrique Enríquez died is unknown, but must have occurred before 28 February 1323. The monastery was looted, desecrated and burned by French troops during the Spanish War of Independence and later demolished in the year 1841.
