John of Castile marries 10 year old Beatrice

Beatrice was the only child of King Ferdinand I of Portugal, and heir to the throne, after her younger brothers' deaths in 1380 and 1382.
Her marriage was the political issue of the day, and inside the palace, factions lobbied constantly.
Ferdinand arranged and canceled his daughter's wedding several times before settling for his wife's first choice, King John I of Castile.
John had lost his wife, Infanta Eleanor of Aragon the year before, and was happy to wed the Portuguese heiress.
The wedding took place at the Cathedral of Badajoz.
