Description
Villena developed in the borderland between Castile, Valencia and Murcia, where its castles controlled important routes. Its medieval prominence was linked to the House of Manuel and to Don Juan Manuel, the writer and prince whose court made Villena a political and cultural centre. In 1445 King John II of Castile created the marquisate for Juan Pacheco, whose estates included Belmonte, Alarcón and other strategic places. Later generations preserved the family’s influence through diplomacy, military service and a close connection to the Castilian crown.
