Mayordomo mayor of his brother King Sancho IV. He rebelled against his brother, joining Abu Yakub King of Morocco to retake Tarifa for the Moors. The Chronicon Domini Joannis Emmanuelis records that “Rex Dns Sancius” captured “Infantem Dnm Joannem germanium proprium”. He claimed the crown of Castile, alleging that King Sancho IV's children were illegitimate as the king was related to his wife in the third degree. Imprisoned until 1292.

m firstly (Burgos) as her second husband, MARGHERITA di Monferrato, widow of --- Pallavicini, daughter of GUGLIELMO VII Marchese di Monferrato & his wife Isabel de Clare (-1286). The Chronica Jacobi de Aquis records that "Marchio Guliermus" and his wife "filiam regis Angliæ" had a daughter "Margaritam" who married in Spain, a later passage naming her husband "Zoanne figlolo di Alphonso Re di Spagna". The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos records that "El Infante D. Juan" married "D. Margarita hija del Marques de Monferrato". Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the testament of "Johannes…marchio Montisferrati", which appoints as his heirs "filios Alaxine sororis sue condam et uxoris Puncelli de filiis Ursi", and failing them "filium Margarite sororis sue condam uxoris Johannis infantis de Yspania de Castella".

m secondly (before 11 May 1287) MARÍA Díaz de Haro Señora de Vizcaya, daughter and heiress of LOPE Díaz de Haro Señor de Vizcaya & his wife Juana Alfonso de Molina. The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos names "D. Diego que murio moço, D. Maria" as the children of "El Conde D. Lope señor de Biscaya", an earlier passage recording that "El Infante D. Juan" married "D. Maria". Her inheritance was disputed by her uncle Diego de Haro, whom her husband defeated. The testament of "doña Maria…reyna de Castilla, de Leon, y señora de Molina", names "el Rey D. Fernando mio fijo", makes donations for the souls of "el Rey don Sancho…doña Blanca mi hermana señora que fue de Molina...el Ynfante D. Enrique mio fijo", provides for "el Rey don Alfonso mio nieto…la Infanta doña Isabel mi fija…Infante don Felipe mio fijo…doña Maria mia sobrina muger que fue del Infante d. Juan". Edward II King of England wrote to “dominæ Mariæ quæ fuit uxor Infantis domini Johannis de Ispania, dominæ de Biscaye consanguineæ regis Angliæ” requesting her support. Ayala’s Crónica de Enrique II records the claim made by “Doña Maria de Lara fija de Don Ferrando de la Cerda” to “las tierras de Lara é de Vizcaya”, which states that “Don Lope...una fija...Doña Maria...Señora de Vizcaya” married “el Infante Don Juan de Castilla”.
