Order of Truxillo
.jpg)
The Order of Truxillo (or Trujillo) was a short-lived
military brotherhood based at the castle of Truxillo in the kingdom of Castile. Truxillo lay 25 miles (40 km) east of Cáceres in the Kingdom of León, where the Order of Santiago was founded in 1170.[1]
The order's origins are obscure. It was incorporated into the Leonese
Order of the Temple.[3] The Order of San Julián, thus deprived of its foothold in Castile, was compensated for its loss of the Order of Truxillo and its possessions by King Ferdinand III, who united León and Castile in 1230.[2]
