Biography

He received from his father the command of the Christian troops during the failed Siege of Algeciras (1278–79).
In 1281, Peter participated in his father's campaign against the Kingdom of Granada.

When his eldest brother, Crown Prince Ferdinand de la Cerda, died before his father, Peter supported his brother Sancho IV of Castile, against the wishes of his father, who had appointed Ferdinand's son Alfonso de la Cerda as his successor. For this, Peter was disinherited by his father.
