Who directly opposed Queen María de Molina's efforts to placate the nobility?

  • John of Castile, Lord of Valencia de Campos

  • Duke of Cadiz

  • Count of Córdoba

  • Marquis of Toledo

Answer

John of Castile, Lord of Valencia de Campos, directly opposed Queen María de Molina's efforts to placate the nobility because he felt that she was giving away too much power to them. He was a powerful nobleman in his own right, and he felt that he should be the one who was in charge of the kingdom, not a woman.
