Nuño González de Lara

Nuño González de Lara, called el Bueno ‘the Good’ (c. 1220 – 8 September 1275), head of the House of Lara, was the closest friend of Alfonso X of Castile.

He defeated the rebellious infante Henry near Lebrija in 1255, suppressed Mudéjar revolts at Jerez and Écija, and became the first castellan of Jerez in 1261.

In 1272 he led the nobles' revolt and fled to Granada, but was reconciled in 1273 and granted Écija. He fell defending it against the Marinids in 1275; his recovered head was buried with his body at Palencia.
