Ruy Pérez Maldonado

Ruy, or Rodrigo, Pérez Maldonado was a Castilian knight who became Grand Master of the Order of Alcántara in 1335, succeeding his brother Suero Pérez Maldonado.

His election came during a schism in which rival bands of the order proclaimed their own masters, until King Alfonso XI intervened with force and secured Ruy's recognition.

In 1336 the king ordered him to reinforce the relief army for Badajoz, then besieged by the Portuguese; after their defeat at Villanueva de Barcarrota the retreating troops ravaged the order's lands, and the Crónica de Alfonso XI blames Ruy for a faint-hearted defence. He resigned the maestrazgo on 26 May 1337, when Gonzalo Martínez de Oviedo took office.
