The charter of Uceda was granted by Ferdinand III of Castile on 22 July 1222 in Peñafiel, a brief charter granted after the definitive reconquest of the town in 1085 by Alfonso VI, who made it a royal domain. In April 1252, Ferdinand III himself handed the council of Uceda over to his son Sancho, future Archbishop of Toledo, in exchange for Baza, and from then on the town remained under the lordship of the Archbishopric of Toledo.
