The ancestry of Juana García Carrillo is disputed in secondary sources, though her grandson, Pero López de Ayala, asserts that his grandmother's grandfather was García Gómez Carrillo, ‘él de los garfios', who is known to have had Urraca, illegitimate daughter of the infante Alfonso de Molina, as wife. However, this reconstruction of the Carrillo family disagrees with other available modern reconstructions, which however are not trustworthy in themselves. See Farmerie and Taylor, cit. above.

This assumes the identity of Isabel, wife of William le Blount, as the widow of Henry Lovet as above. CP only states it as a possibility, but Croke provides other support for this identification, including the use of Beauchamp arms by Isabel's son Piers le Blount.
