message: I'm going to put here the sources (the ancients and the actuals) as in the original, and then I will put an essay of their translation. These sources can be used also in other articles concerning this period on the Spains (Hispanias).
*Ayala, Pero López (c. 1400), Crónica del Rey Don Juan el Primero de Castilla e de Leon, in "Cronicas de los Reyes de Castilla por D. Pedro Lopez de Ayala", II. Amirola, Don Eugenio LLaguno. Madrid: 1780
Elevation to King of Castile and León. Año Primero, Capitulo I, pp 123/124 (on old castilian; curiosity: much more near to the actual portuguese then the actual castilian): ...é fue alzado Rey en la cibdad de Sancto Domingo de la Calzada el dia que su padre finó, que fué lunes veinte é nueve dias de Mayo...é empezó á regnar en edad de veinte é un años é dos mes é medio. E luego el dia de Santiago adelante de este dicho Año se coronó en el Monesterio de las Dueñas de las Huelgas cerca de la cibdad de Burgos.
:...and was elevated King on the town of Santo Domingo de la Calzada the day that his father died, that was monday twenty nine days of May...and begun to reign on the age of twenty one years and two month and a half. And then on the following day of Santiago of this Year crowned himself on the monastery of the Dueñas de las Huelgas near the city of Burgos.
::Commentary: He was elevated to King more or less a month before his coronation. To be King he only needed to be «alzado» (elevated, ascended).
The day of Henry II's deadh. Amirola's note on Crónica del Rey Don Enrique Segundo de Castilla, idem, Año Catorceno, Capitulo III, note 1, p. 105: «Aquel año el lunes segundo dia de Cinquesma, esto es, segundo dia de Pentecostes, fué á 30 de Mayo, y se debe entender que murió en la noche del domingo 29 dos horas después de las doce, que ya era lunes 30.»
: That year on Monday second day of Cinquesma, that is, the second day of Pentecost, that was the 30th of May, and it is understood that died on the night of Sunday 29 two hours after midnight, that was already Monday 30.
::Commentary: This is very interesting but we need more one or two good sources saying the same of Amirola.
The issue of Juan I of Castile. First correction we can make on the article's text. Where is writen, «His first marriage, to Eleanor of Aragon on 18 June 1375,[1] produced most of his issue», we can write something like: «his only known issue» (Juan and Fernando and a immediately death female baby). Source: Ayala, Pero López (c. 1400), Crónica del Rey Don Enrique Tercero de Castilla e de Leon, ibidem, Año Tercero, Capitulo XXV, p. 500.
:Ayala: Dicho avemos como luego que el Rey regnó, los que estaban con él en la villa de Madrid, por algunas cosas que eran complideras a servicio del Rey, trataron casamiento del Infante Don Ferrando su hermano fijo del Rey Don Juan, (ca el Rey Don Juan non ovo otros fijos legítimos, nin en otra manera en ningund tiempo, salvo una Infanta de que murió la Reyna Doña Leonor su mujer después de parida, segundo suso contamos)...
::Translation: We have said as soon as the King reigned, those who were with him in the city of Madrid, for some things that were necessary to service of the King, treated marriage of the Infante Don Fernando his brother son of  King Don Juan, (for King Juan don't had no other legitimate sons, none in another way in no time, except one infanta from wich died Reyna Leonor Reyna his wife after given birth, second above we counted)...
:::Commentary: Ayala is clearly saying: there where no other chirdren, nor legitimate nor ilegitimate, from any other woman.
