Alfonso XI (1310?-50), king of León and Castile (1312-50). A strong defender of the royal prerogative, he courted the lower classes with his economic policies while curtailing the authority of the nobles. On October 30, 1340, he and Afonso IV of Portugal crushed the resurgent Moors in Spain in the Battle of the Salado River.
