**Jadraque** is a [municipality](/source/Municipalities_in_Spain) of [Spain](/source/Spain) located in the [province of Guadalajara](/source/Province_of_Guadalajara), [Castilla–La Mancha](/source/Castilla%E2%80%93La_Mancha).[1] The municipality spans across a total area of 38.91 km2.[1] As of 1 January 2020, it has a population of 1,370.[1]

## History

It is home to a medieval castle, the so-called [Castle of Cid](/source/Castle_of_Cid). In a barter, [Alfonso Carrillo de Acuña](/source/Alfonso_Carrillo_de_Acu%C3%B1a) transferred the castle of Jadraque to [Pedro González de Mendoza](/source/Pedro_Gonz%C3%A1lez_de_Mendoza) in exchange for the town of [Maqueda](/source/Maqueda) and the mayorship of Toledo on 27 January 1470.[2]

By the early 16th century, the land of Jadraque extended across around 713 km2 of the Henares basin (divided into the [*sexmos*](/source/Sexmo) of Henares and Bornova).[3]
