History edit

On 5 March 1227, Ferdinand III donated the Estrella Castle to Pedro González, Grand Master of the Order of Santiago, so Montiel eventually became the head of the Campo de Montiel lands.[3] In 1243, Montiel was granted a fuero (a copy of Cuenca's) and a number of privileges by Grand Master Paio Peres Correia.[4]

The Battle of Montiel occurred at the town. It was also the place where Peter of Castile was killed by Henry of Trastamara.[5]
