García Fernández de Villamayor hold high posts in the Castilian royal court during the first half of the thirteenth century: he was «mayordomo» (mayor of the court) of the Queens Leonor and Berenguela, and also of the King Fernando III. His political position allows him to expand his lands and properties. This article tries to analyse in deep that process of expansion. It is worth pointing out that García Fernández bought lands and rights to kinsmen and also to other individuals who were his vassals or clients. His lands spread through wide areas, from Galicia to Andalucía, but concentrate especially in Castile north to the river Duero, where he had, above all, rights over behetría villages.
