- Master of Alcántara.
- A Master of Alcántara was killed in the Battle of Atoleiros (1384), to the consternation of Juan I of Castile and his faction who wish to avenge his death, as stated by Fernão Lopes in chapters 145 and 146 of the Chronicle of King João I of Portugal, Part I. Lopes does not mention any names, but the dead Master is probably Diego Gómez Barroso (1383-1384) and his replacement is Gonzalo Núñez de Gusmán (1384-1385).
