The battle of Pajarón opposed in 21 August 1289 the troops of King of
Castile Sancho IV, supported by the Order of Saint John, to an Aragonese
coalition led by Diego López V de Haro. The battle turned to a disaster
for the Castilian party: the Galician knight Rui Páez de Sotomayor who
commanded the troops as the king's Justicia Mayor was killed, as were
several knights of the Order, the Grand Commander of the Priorate of
Uclès included.
