SIGNED 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Richard Kinkade who carefully read and commented on earlier drafts of this dissertation. I am greatly indebted to him for his patience, support, instruction and guidance, not only during the dissertation process but also throughout my years as a graduate student at the University of Arizona. I also wish to thank Professors Robert Fiore and Malcolm Compitello for the many insightful suggestions that they, too, have made on previous versions of Gomez Manrique's literary biography. I would also like to mention here the names of those professors with whom I had the privilege of studying at the University of Arizona and who have been instrumental in shaping my scholarly interests and aspirations; Professors Malcolm Compitello, Lydia Fossa, Karl Gregg, Lanin Gyurko, Richard Kinkade, Helen Nader, Dana Nelson, Pithamber Polsani, Jose Promis, Eliana Rivero and Amy Williamsen. I am also grateful for the diligent effort on the part of Linda Dols, the University of Arizona's librarian who helped me track down and access numerous manuscripts throughout Europe. I also wish to thank Richard Alexander for his friendship, encouragement and the countless bits of good advice that he has given me during my tenure as a graduate student of Spanish Literature. Finally I want to thank my parents, William S. and Penelope Adee for their love, support and for instilling in me a love for learning and teaching. 5 DEDICATION To my "muy amada muger," my wife, Aniko, who has shown incredible patience and support even though she has had to share me with this project for the last year. She has also been a good sport by listening to many of my one-sided discussions on the life and times of Gomez Manrique. She has also helped me at many points by offering suggestions and solutions for computer problems that occasionally arose while I was writing. Thank you for all of your love and encouragement. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS STATEMENT BY AUTHOR 3 ABSTRACT 9 INTRODUCTION; POETRY AND POLITICS: A LITERARY BIOGRAPHY OF G6MEZ MANRIQUE (C.1415-1490) 11 PART ONE; GOMEZ MANRIQUE'S FORMATIVE YEARS, c.1415-1458 63 Chapter One: Gomez Manrique, c.1415-1440 64 Place of Birth 76 Childhood and Education 79 Early Adulthood (1430-1440) 94 Chapter Two: Adulthood and Anarchy, 1440-1454 117 Further attacks against Alvaro de Luna 119 The Battle of Olmedo and Its Aftermath 122 Establishing Alliances 132 Riots and Anti-Converso Sentiments in Early Fifteenth-Century Castile 139 Birth of the Future Queen of Castile 148 Death of Juan D de Castilla 167 Chapter Three: Gomez Manrique and Enrique IV de Castilla, (1454-1457)...... 170 Manrique in Salamanca 182 Juan de Mena, d.l4S6 184 Defunzion del noble cavaUero Garcilaso de la Vega 196 PART TWO: GOMEZ MANRIQUE, POET AND STATESMAN, 1457-1490 218 Chapter Four: G6mez Manrique, Alfonso Carrillo*s Majordomo, 1457-1474 ...219 Consolatoria para Juana Manrique, Condesa de Castro 233 Exclantagion e queretta de la govemagion 246 Rebellion Looms Over Castile.............................. 255 Coplaspara Diego Arias de Avila....................................................................... 258 Negotiations Between the Federation and Aragon 274 Gomez Manrique, Governor of Burgos 279 The **Farsa de Avila**.........................................................................................286 Gdmez Manrique, Corregidor of Avila and Guardian of Alfonso and Isabel. 289 Civil War 294 Poetry for Alfonso de Castflla ...........................................................................305 Representacion del Nagimiento de Nuestro Sleiiiir.............................................. 312 Alfonso de Castilla, d.l468 ................................................................................320 Isabel, Heiress to the Thrones of Aragon, Castile and Sicily ...........................324 Enrique IV Retaliates........................................................................................ 333 Fernando Returns Home................................................................................... 338 Chapter Five: Gomez Manrique and the Catholic Monarchs (1474-1490).........346 7 Regindento de Principes 346 The Portuguese Threat 359 Gomez Manrique, Corregidor of Toledo (1477-1490) 362 Jorge Manrique* d. 1479 366 The Establishment of Order 367 Family Tragedy 369 Anti-Semitism and the Inquisition 371 The Final Years 378 PART THREE: G6MEZ MANRIQUE'S POETIC CIRCLE 386 Family Members............................. 387 1.
