Town on the Pisuerga 15 km north of Valladolid. The Moorish castle here was the site of the cruel tragedy of Don Pedro.
From thence they carried him to Cabezon, and there the Abbot Don Ferrando came to him, an honourable man, and many other honourable men of his realms, and the Cid Ruydiez, whom the King commended to the Infante Don Sancho, his son.
You well know that when I went to Cabezon unto him, after he had divided his kingdoms, how he made me swear to him that I would always counsel his sons the best I could, and never give them ill counsel; and while I can, thus must I continue to do.
