Nuño Pérez de Lara

Nuño Pérez de Lara (died 3 August 1177) was a Castilian nobleman, son of Count Pedro González de Lara. Alfonso VII made him alférez in 1145; he was probably captured at Montoro against the Almohads in 1156 and ransomed in 1157, then captured again by the Castros at Lobregal in 1160.

He became count by 1162 and guardian of Alfonso VIII. After his brother Manrique died in 1164, Nuño held the regency until 1169. He promoted the cult of Thomas Becket in Spain and was killed at Cuenca in 1177.
