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 inferior for a nobleman of such prestige.
