In 1162, Ferdinand II conquered the city of [[Toledo, Spain|Toledo]], snatching it from the Castilians, and subsequently naming Fernando Rodríguez de Castro as Governor of the city. The city of Toledo remained in the power of the Kingdom of León until 1166, when it was recovered by the Castilians.{{sfn|Barton|1992|p=259}} On 27 September 1162, Ferdinand II signed an agreement, known as the [[Treaty of Ágreda (1162)|Treaty of Ágreda]], with [[Alfonso II of Aragon]].

In 1164 Fernando Rodríguez de Castro entered the Kingdom of Castile for the second time with an army and defeated Count [[Manrique Pérez de Lara]] at the [[Battle of Huete]], fought in June or July of that year. Four years later he was appointed Mayor of León, being his duty to control and be in command of the existing fortresses in the city, until the year 1182, when he left the office.

Ferdinand II and the members of the House of Lara met in [[Soria]] and agreed that, to defend the city of Toledo from the Saracens, they would hand over to the [[Knights Templar]] the city of [[Uclés]], located in the current [[Province of Cuenca]], and which would later become the headquarters of the [[Order of Santiago]]. The King of León, fearful that the members of the House of Lara would break the agreed peace, allied himself with King [[Sancho VI of Navarre]] to intimidate them and, in this way, be able to direct his troops against the [[Almohad Caliphate|Almohads]], from whom he snatched the cities of [[Alcántara]] and [[Alburquerque, Badajoz|Albuquerque]].
