Description
Pedro I of Castile has been fought over since the day his half-brother killed him in a tent at Montiel in 1369. To the chronicler Ayala, who served both men, he was a tyrant; to a later tradition he was a hard king who protected commoners against grandees, and Spain remembers him as el Cruel or el Justiciero depending on who is speaking. Antonio Ferrer del Rio, a historian of the liberal generation, goes back to the sources and tries to establish what can actually be known. He does not fully escape his own century's taste for rehabilitation, but the method is honest and the reading of Ayala remains sharp. A key text in the long Spanish argument about its own Middle Ages.
