A great hubbub broke out in the encampment when once it was known that King Pedro was dead. At that hour too Don Fernando de Castro, Men Rodríguez de Sanabria and Gonzalo González de Ávila were taken prisoner, along with others who had emerged from the castle with the king. He died on 23 March 1369, being at that time thirty-five years and seven months old. He was a well-built man, with a light complexion and fair hair, and spoke with a slight lisp. Until King Enrique was acclaimed king in Calahorra, King Pedro had reigned over his kingdom for a full sixteen years, and then reigned for three more years in contention with him. He was slain just as you have heard and was then taken to Toledo, where he was buried alongside the other kings.

Those who had been in the castle of Montiel all surrendered to King Enrique and handed to him all King Pedro's belongings. Likewise, Toledo, the city which King Enrique had been besieging, surrendered to him. King Enrique left Montiel and journeyed to Seville, which had already proclaimed its support for him, and from there he dispatched all his forces to their respective homes. Moreover, it was confirmed that Ciudad Rodrigo, Zamora, Carmona and a number of other places, all of which had in the past supported King Pedro, did not wish to go over to King Enrique.

The king sent a proposal to Martín López de Córdoba, who called himself the Master of Calatrava, and to the others who were in Carmona with King Pedro's sons, namely that he would transfer the boys and all of their party, together with the treasure, jewellery and all the belongings that were left by King Pedro, either to Portugal, or to Granada, or to England, whichever they preferred, and that they should leave Carmona without further ado. However, they refused to enter into any treaty.

In addition, he had a proposal sent to the Emir of Granada that they should call a truce for a certain period, but the Moorish sovereign rejected it.
