Pedro Rodríguez de Castro (fl. 1171–1191), second son of Rodrigo Fernández de Castro the bald and Eylo Álvarez, daughter of Álvar Fáñez, and of the Countess Mayor Perez, was a Castilian ricohombre of the lineage of the Castro. Just like his great-grandfather the count Pedro Ansúrez called, was Butler of Leon in 1184 and tenente of Grado, Tineo, Pravia, and Limia. The Count of Barcelos in his Nobiliario, and Argote de Molina in his nobility of Andalusia, called him the monk as he should enter into religion after widower.
He was married before 1171 to Urraca Guzmán Rodríguez, daughter of Rodrigo Muñoz de Guzmán and Mayor Díaz, who possibly had no offspring.
On 19 December 1187, tenente also from Astudillo, the King then Alfonso VIII of Castile, in thanks for joining the services of the Castilian Crown, donated to him the villas of Villasila and Villamelendro in Alfoz of Saldaña and the King gave them fuero in 1180. Don Pedro, two years later, in 1189 donated, along with his wife, order of Santiago these villas with their lands.
Pedro Rodríguez de Castro will be dead after the 22 November 1191, date of its last appearance in medieval documentation.
