[EN] The present article discusses how such influential and renowned Arab historians as Ibn Ḫaldūn (d. 808/1406) and al-Maqrīzī (d. 845/1442) described the reigns of the Christian kings of Iberia that were their contemporaries (or near-contemporaries), and par-ticularly, how they depicted the reign of Pedro I of Castile (r. 1350-1366 and 1367-1369). The article offers a thorough survey of the fragments devoted to Pedro I, whom Ibn Ḫaldūn met in person, and shows that his death at the hands of his half-brother Enrique II (r. 1366-1367 and 1369-1379) received much attention in Ibn Ḫaldūn’s Kitāb al-ʿIbar and al-Maqrīzī’s Durar al-ʿuqūd al-farīda. Moreover, it shows, on the one hand, that the information on the kingdom of Castile offered by them, though altered and distorted, was related to contemporary Spanish sources, and, on the other hand, that part of that information on the dār al-ḥarb at the other end of the Mediterranean found its way to Mamluk Egypt, where it was incorporated by Ibn Ḫaldūn and al-Maqrīzī (and by their contemporary al-Qalqašandī via Ibn Ḫaldūn) into their respective works.
[ES] Este artículo estudia cómo historiadores árabes tan influyentes y renombrados como Ibn Ḫaldūn (m. 808/1406) y al-Maqrīzī (m. 845/1442) describen los reinados de los reyes cristianos de Iberia que fueron contemporáneos suyos, y, especialmente, cómo describen el reinado de Pedro I de Castilla (g. 1350-1366 y 1367-1369). El artículo ofrece un análisis en profundidad de los fragmentos dedicados a Pedro I, al que Ibn Ḫaldūn conoció personalmente, y muestra que su muerte a manos de su medio hermano Enrique II (g. 1366-1367 y 1369-1379) recibió gran atención en Kitāb al-ʿIbar de Ibn Ḫaldūn y Durar al-ʿuqūd al-farīda de al-Maqrīzī. Pone de relieve asimismo que la información sobre el reino de Castilla que proporcionan ambos autores, aunque alterada, guarda relación con fuentes castellanas contemporáneas, y que parte de esa información relativa a la dār al-ḥarb en el otro extremo del Mediterráneo llegó de alguna manera al Egipto mameluco, donde Ibn Ḫaldūn y al-Maqrīzī (y su coetáneo al-Qalqašandī a través de Ibn Ḫaldūn) la incorporaron a sus respectivas obras.
