Charles de la Cerda, commonly known as Charles of Spain (French: Charles d'Espagne) (1327 – 8 January 1354), was a Franco-Castilian nobleman and soldier, the son of Alfonso de la Cerdaof Spain (died 1327) and Isabelle d'Antoing,[1] and grandson of Alfonso de la Cerdathe disinherited (1270–1333). He was a distant cousin of John II of France.
In 1354, following an altercation with Philippe de Navarre (1336-1363), brother of Charles II of Navarre, Jean le Soult (called Le Bascon), a henchman of Charles II of Navarre, slew de la Cerda in an inn in L'Aigle.[4] The repercussions of this murder led to a continuous state of instability within France that was only resolved upon the accession of Charles V in 1364.
