Descendants
As Maester of the Order of Santiago, Fadrique was putatively required to remain celibate. Through illegitimate marriages he fathered the lineage of Enríquez family, who became Admirals of Castile and later Dukes of Medina de Rioseco. One of his descendants, Juana Enríquez bore the future Ferdinand II of Aragon.
Fadrique was married to Leonor de Angulo (b. c. 1340), a Castilian Noblewoman, without issue. He had three illegitimate children:
- Don Alfonso Enríquez de Castilla (b. 1354, d. 1429), 1st Señor de Medina de Río Seco, married to Juana de Mendoza (b. circa 1360, d. January 24, 1431), had issue, and by an unknown mother had a bastard son
- Don Pedro Enríquez de Castilla (b. 1355, d. May 5, 1400), 1st Conde de Trastámara, 2nd Constable of Castile, married in 1385 to Dona Isabel de Castro (b. circa 1360), had issue
- Doña Leonor Enríquez de Castilla (b. circa 1357), married to Diego Gómez Sarmiento, Marshall of Castille (b. circa 1355, d. August 14, 1385), had issue.
His descendant Juana Enriquez (1425–February 13, 1468), was the second wife of John II of Aragon and the mother of Ferdinand II of Aragon.

—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“And what if my descendants lose the flower
Through natural declension of the soul,
Through too much business with the passing hour,
Through too much play, or marriage with a fool?”
