Alfonso, Prince of Asturias (1453–1468) was the figurehead of rebelling magnates against his brother Henry IV of Castile. Alfonso was the only surviving son of John II of Castile, by his second wife, Isabella of Portugal, Henry IV being the product of his first marriage. Alfonso''s sister, the future Queen Isabella I of Castile, was also the product of this second marriage. After the death of his father, John II, Alfonso, his mother and sister were virtually exiled, his mother to Arevalo and the children to Segovia. When Alfonso was around seven years of age the two children were moved to Henry''s court at Madrid and were placed in Queen Joan''s household. During this period it is rumored that Queen Joan tried to poison Alfonso on at least one occasion, to pave the way for her own daughter to inherit the throne.
