Enrique Enríquez the Younger (died 1366) was a nobleman of Castile, son of Enrique Enríquez the Elder. He was lord of Villalba de los Barros, Nogales, Almendral, La Parra, Begíjar and other towns. He was Adelantado Mayor of the border of Andalusia, chief justice of the King's House, Chief of the forces of the bishopric and Kingdom of Jaén, Mayor of Seville and Knight of the Band.
Enrique Enríquez the Younger was the son of Enrique Enríquez the Elder, nobleman of Castile and lord of Puebla de los Infantes, and Estefanía Rodríguez de Ceballos, Lady of Villalba de los Barros and of Vado de las Estacas. His father's parents were the Prince Henry of Castile the Senator, son of Ferdinand III of Castile, and the Lady Mayor Rodríguez Pecha. His maternal grandparents were Rodrigo González de Ceballos, mayor of Toledo and adelantado mayor of Murcia, and his wife, María Fernández de Caviedes, lady of Caviedes, Lamadrid and La Revilla.
The birthdate of Enrique Enríquez the Younger is unknown. In 1307 his mother, Estefanía Rodríguez de Ceballos, ceded the lordship of Villalba de los Barros to her son, with the consent of his father. The grant was confirmed by a document issued in the city of Valladolid on 12 April 1320 by King Alfonso XI of Castile. The date when his father died is unknown, but must have occurred before 28 February 1323. On that date his wife recorded her state of widowhood in a document issued in the city of Seville, when she sold a house on her property.
