- Todd A. Farmerie and Nathaniel L. Taylor's "Notes on the Ancestry of Sancha de Ayala" (New England Historical and Genealogical Register 103, 1998) presents a reconstruction of her ancestry which they describe as "possible but problematic," placing her father García Gómez Carillo, lord of Mazuela and Ormaza, as son of another García Gómez Carillo, alcade of the city of Jerez de la Frontera in 1264, whose wife was an Urraca Alfonso, natural daughter of Alfonso de Molina (1203-1272), son of Alfonso IX, King of Leon and Galicia, by his wife Berenguela, daughter of Alfonso VIII of Castile, granddaughter of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine.
On his own website, in Cassandra Elizabeth Taylor's royal descents, Taylor subsequently noted that "[t]he 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. [...] [T]his reconstruction of the Carrillo family disagrees with other available modern reconstructions, which however are not trustworthy in themselves." And on 23 Feb 2017, Farmerie noted that while the Osorio descent for Sancha de Ayala presented in his and Taylor's 1998 article has subsequently been accepted by three independent Iberian historians, "[t]he Carrillo descent, on the other hand, has received no attention at all, and I have come to view it with skepticism. The reasoning remains sound, but I am not sure the conclusion was."
