Creating Carrillo de Acuña (Carrascosa del Campo, 1410 - Alcalá de Henares, 1482) was an influential Castillian clergyman under John II, Henry IV, and Isabella I of Castile.

He was famous for changing coats depending on the wind. He had initially supported Isabella's claim to the Castilian throne but had some frictions with her and Ferdinand. Carrillo did not approve of the absolute royal power they planned to exert or to their idea fo subordinating the church to the king. As a result of this opposition, Isabella ascended Pedro González de Mendoza, an old enemy of Carrillo, to the position of chancellor of Castille and got him appointed as Cardinal, a position Carrillo had been fighting for. During the War of the Castilian Succession, Carrillo fought on Johanna's side. When the war was won by Isabella he conveniently changed sides and reconciled with her, being appointed the Archbishop of Toledo as a reward.

Falsification of the Catholic Monarch's Permission to Marry

Carrillo de Acuña has been pointed as the possible author of the false Papal Bull that authorized Isabella and Ferdinand to marry despite being cousins, a forgery created by the Catholic Monarchs when Pope Paul II repeatedly refused to authorize such a powerful marriage. . The other suspect of the forgery is Antonio Veneris.
