He was the son of Alfonso de la Cerda, grandson of Ferdinand de la Cerda. His mother was Matile of Brienne, daughter of John I of Brienne, Count of Eu. He married Maria Alfonso de Portugal (illegitimate daughter of King Denis of Portugal).

He served under Alfonso XI of Castile in the Siege of Algeciras (1342-1344), which culminated in the city's surrender in 1344.
