However, as the conflict intensified, it developed into another stage of the Hundred Years’ War. The dispute centred on the control of cities and castles, mainly by siege or coup de main. It is true that some acts of arms, such as the sieges of Toledo in 1355 and 1368-9 that we study in this work, were of fundamental importance, both because of the place in dispute and because of the development of the military actions before a large-scale square. Finally, the decisive battle between Pedro I and Enrique II in the vicinity of Montiel, which resulted in the death of King Pedro (1369), had its origin precisely in a tactical move by the Petrists in an attempt to lift the aforementioned siege of the city of Toledo
