  • Notes 
    • He was Crown Prince (infante) of Castile, eldest son of King Alfonso X of Castile and Violant of Aragon. His nickname, de la Cerda, means "of the bristle" in Spanish, a reference to being born with a line of hair running down his back from the neck. However, as Ferdinand predeceased his father in 1275 at Ciudad Real, his own sons did not inherit the throne of their grandfather, since their uncle, the second son, Sancho, enforced his claim by rebellion.
