English: Don Juan Manuel (5 May 1282 – 13 June 1348) was a Spanish medieval writer, nephew of Alfonso X of Castile, son of Manuel of Castile and Beatrice of Savoy. He inherited from his father the great Seigneury of Villena, receiving the titles of Lord, Duke and lastly Prince of Villena. He married three times, choosing his wives for political and economic convenience, and worked to match his children with partners associated with royalty. Juan Manuel became one of the richest and most powerful men of his time, coining his own currency as the kings did. During his life, he was criticised for choosing literature as his vocation, an activity thought below a nobleman of such prestige.
Español: Don Juan Manuel (Escalona, 5 de mayo de 1282 – Córdoba, 13 de junio de 1348), fue un magnate castellano e hijo del infante Manuel de Castilla y de Beatriz de Saboya, siendo además nieto del rey Fernando III de Castilla. Don Juan Manuel fue uno de los principales representantes de la prosa medieval de ficción, sobre todo gracias a su obra El conde Lucanor, conjunto de cuentos moralizantes (exempla) que se entremezclan con varias modalidades de literatura sapiencial. Ostentó los títulos simultáneos de duque y príncipe de Villena y señor de Escalona, Peñafiel, Cuéllar, Elche, Cartagena, Lorca, Alcocer, Salmerón, Valdeolivas y Almenara, siendo además además mayordomo mayor de los reyes Fernando IV y Alfonso XI de Castilla, adelantado mayor de la frontera de Andalucía y adelantado mayor de Murcia. Durante la última etapa de la minoría de edad de su sobrino, Alfonso XI de Castilla, fue tutor del rey junto con el infante Felipe de Castilla y Juan el Tuerto.
