Pedro Rodríguez de Castro (fl. 1171–1191), second son of Rodrigo Fernández de Castro the bald and Eylo Álvarez, daughter of Álvar Fáñez, and of the Countess Mayor Perez, was a Castilian nobleman of the lineage of the Castro. Just like his great-grandfather, count Pedro Ansúrez, he was Butler of Leon in 1184 and tenente of Grado, Tineo, Pravia, and Limia.[1] The Count of Barcelos in his Nobiliario, and Argote de Molina in his nobility of Andalusia, called him "the monk" as he entered religion after becoming a widower.
He was married before 1171 to Urraca Guzmán Rodríguez, daughter of Rodrigo Muñoz de Guzmán and Mayor Díaz, who possibly had no offspring.[1][2]
On 19 December 1187, king Alfonso VIII of Castile, in thanks for joining the services of the Castilian Crown, donated to him the villas of Villasila and Villamelendro[a].
Pedro Rodríguez de Castro died after 22 November 1191, date of its last appearance in medieval documentation.[3]
