- When Pedro of Castile stopped at Santo Domingo de la Calzada, a cleric warned him of the danger posed by his half-brother Enrique, claiming to have received the message from Santo Domingo in a dream. The king accused the cleric of having been induced by others to bring this message. Despite the cleric's firm denial, Pedro had him burnt there and then. [Pedro, ch 26: 26-33]
- The warning scene above, besides creating tension in the narrative, as the warrying parties are about to meet in the impending battle of Nájera (1367), highlights once again the bloodthirsty character of King Pedro.
