With, th is idea In mind I sta rte d on the t r a i l which has ended with this "Critical study of lope de Vega*s Don Lope de Cardona.“ I found, after a good deal of preliminary search, that Arthur Ludwig Sticfel, tho great German schol­ ar of the last generation, had preceded me in the idea of comparing these two plays* He had done so complete a work, that i, with my limited training, felt it would be foolish even to attempt to undertake a similar one, I teen turned to Jean de Rotrou's play, Don Lope de Gardone. with much the same sort of purpose. Here I was blocked by tee ina­ bility to obtain certain works white he may have used as his sources. At the same time I was attempting a metric translation of Lope de Vega1 s play. This has been .complet­ ed, but it is not in such shape as to warrant its being offered to others as final. -. For this reason I have written only a critical study of Don Lope de Cardona. As far as is possible without the Letters of Lope de Vega, published in several volumes late in 1935, and early in 1936, and the new biographies also published in 1935, I believe this study complete. 1 believe it to be a contri­ bution to the slowly growing body of Information we have on th® great Spanish poet, but th® decision must be made by those with greater knowledge and wider experience than I. ' Because so many of the books used in this study are • z ' - not available in the University Library, I have quoted ' 1 .. • ■ : liberally and at length. I have included at the end of the study a fairly coepletc list of books consulted not only for what appears here, but also for the textual notes which I have made to accompany the tra n s la tio n of Don Lope do ^ardon^# ■ . _ * •. ■ ^ - In the writing of this study 1 am first indebted to Dr. John Brooks for having furnished me a copy of the play. I am also indebted to him for the use of his set of the new Academy edition of Lope*s works and for other books not in the University Library. Even more than for these books, I am indebted to him for his suggestions, encouragement, criticism, and guidance. If I have found anything now, it Is because of those suggestions he has dropped along the way for me to think over and to. work from. To Dr. John D. Fltz-Gerald, I am likewise Indebted for many suggestions and ideas, but chiefly for the use of his 'v valuable private library which has helped me fill In many gaps or guided me to the works which would do so. To the University of Arizona Library and to the staff, especially Mr. R. J. Gjelsness, Mr. William Carlson, and Miss Mabel A. Guild, I owe much for special privileges -iii granted In the use of the rarer works in the library and for their willingness to seek materials from other libraries for my use# In several cases this has necessitated a good deal of correspondence. To the libraries at the Universities of California, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois, to the Harvard College Library, to the Library of Congress, to the New York Public Library, to the Librarian of The Hispanic Society of Americai and to Dr. Frances Douglas DeKalb, for use of books in their collections, I am greatly indebted. To my wife, Nadyne, who has been my faithful typist, • and ®y constant helper, I express my gratitude, and the hope that the small advance I.have so far made along scholarly lines, at the cost of some sacrifice on her part, will not have been in vain.

Michael Mathes University of California-Los Angeles Data de recepció: 30/11/1997 Summary Diego de Benavides A descendent of one of the sons of King Alfonso VII of Castile and León, Juan Alonso de Benavides, who took his family name from the Leonese city granted to him by his father, Diego de Benavides de la Cueva y Bazán was born in 1582 in Santisteban del Puerto (Jaén). Son of the count of Santisteban del Puerto, a title granted by King Enrique IV to Díaz Sánchez in Jaén in 1473, he studied in the Colegio Mayor of San Bartolomé in the University of Salamanca, and followed both careers in letters and arms. He was the eighth count of Santisteban del Puerto, commander of Monreal in the Order of Santiago, count of Cocentina, title granted to Ximén Pérez de Corella by King Alfonso V of Aragón in 1448; count of El Risco, title granted to Pedro Dávila y Bracamonte by the Catholic Monarchs in 1475; and marquis of Las Navas, title granted to Pedro Dávila y Zúñiga, count of El Risco in 1533. As a result of his heroic actions in the Italian wars, on 11 August 1637 Benavides was granted the title of marquis of Solera by Philip IV, and he was subsequently appointed governor of Galicia and viceroy of Navarra. A royal coun- selor of war, he was a minister plenipotentiary at the Peace of the Pyrenees in 1659, and arranged the marriage of Louis XIV with the Princess María Teresa of Austria as part of the terms of the teatry1.

  • Constructing 'Race': the Catholic Church and the Evolution of Racial Categories and Gender in Colonial Mexico, 1521-1700

Castillo August, 2017 i CONSTRUCTING ‘RACE’: THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE EVOLUTION OF RACIAL CATEGORIES AND GENDER IN COLONIAL MEXICO, 1521-1700 _______________ An Abstract of a Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _______________ By Alexandria E. Castillo August, 2017 ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of the Catholic Church in defining racial categories and construction of the social order during and after the Spanish conquest of Mexico, then New Spain. The Catholic Church, at both the institutional and local levels, was vital to Spanish colonization and exercised power equal to the colonial state within the Americas. Therefore, its interests, specifically in connection to internal and external “threats,” effected New Spain society considerably. The growth of Protestantism, the Crown’s attempts to suppress Church influence in the colonies, and the power struggle between the secular and regular orders put the Spanish Catholic Church on the defensive. Its traditional roles and influence in Spanish society not only needed protecting, but reinforcing. As per tradition, the Church acted as cultural center once established in New Spain. However, the complex demographic challenged traditional parameters of social inclusion and exclusion which caused clergymen to revisit and refine conceptions of race and gender.

  • Relations Between Portugal and Castile in the Late Middle Ages – 16Th Centuries
    Palenzuela Relations between Portugal and Castile Relations between Portugal and Castile in the Late Middle Ages – 16th centuries Vicente Ángel Álvarez Palenzuela Relations between the Portuguese monarchy and the monarchies of Leon or Castile (the Kingdom of Castile was the historical continuation of the Kingdom of Leon) after the unification of the latter two kingdoms show a profundity, intensity and continuity not to be found among any of the other peninsular kingdoms during the Middle Ages, even though these were also very close. The bond between the two went far beyond merely diplomatic relations. The matrimonial unions between the two were so strong and frequent that it is possible to claim that both kingdoms were ruled by a single dynasty during the entire Middle Ages.1 Despite this, any attempt by one or the other to unify both kingdoms was destined to failure, and more often than not, to harsh confrontation leading to prolonged resentment and suspicions which were difficult to overcome.2 The very close relations are, in my opinion, the result of a common historical, cultural, and mental 1 This claim may seem to be exaggerated. However, I think it is fully endorsed by the frequent matrimonial alliances between the two ruling families. Five of the nine kings of the first Portuguese dynasty had Castilian wives: Alfonso II, Sancho II, Alfonso III, Alfonso IV, and Pedro I (and to some degree the same could be said of Fernando I). Leonor, wife of Duarte, was also Castilian, even if she was considered to be “Aragonese”, and so were the three successive wives of Manuel I.

Elysse Taillon Meredith 23 May 2012 Abstract Worn items are a crucial part of non-verbal social interaction that simultaneously exhibits communal, cultural, and political structures and individual preferences. This thesis examines the role of fictional costume and colour in constructing identities within two fourteenth-century Arthurian verse narratives: Froissart’s Middle French Meliador and the anonymous Middle English Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. To emphasise the imaginative value of material cultures and discuss the potential reception of fictional objects, the argument draws on illuminations from nine manuscripts of prose Arthurian stories.

  • Alfonso V, El Magnánimo and the Hungarian Throne
    Ádám Anderle: Alfonso V, e! Magnánimo and the Hungarian Throne 17 ADÁM ANDERLE Alfonso V, el Magnánimo and the Hungarian Throne Hungarian historiography has a fairly detailed picture of certain Spanish-Hungarian, or more precisely, Aragonese-Hungarian relations of the 15th century Antal Áldásv's inaugural dissertation about the affairs of Zsigmond király és. Spanyolország (King Sigismund and Spain) gives a detailed survey up to 1416 mainly in connection with the schism and the Council of Constance, but after that he only mentions sporadic data until 1447.1 He finishes his book with a reference to Lajos Thallóczy's research, who (Thallóczy) revealed the relations between János Hunyadi and Alfonso V of Aragon (1447 _ 48) as well as Hunyadi's offer to Alfonso about establishing an anti-Turkish alliance and about accepting the Hungarian throne.2 It was Lajos Thallóczy who, after Schwandtner, found the documents of the János Hunyadi - Alfonso relations in the Archivo de la Corona de Aragón in Barcelona and published them in the first volume of the Frangepán collection of documents and in the Bosnyák és Szerb élet- és nemzedékrajzi tanulmányok (Bosnian and Serb biographical and genealogical studies) drawing a good, data-rich portrait about Alfonso.3 Compared to them, the work of Vilmos Fraknói in 1910 served more the purpose of popularisation.'1 As a matter of fact, since then the Hungarian historical works have been written on the question based on these antecedents - .without publishing any considerably new data. The principal constituents of this theme are the following: Hunyadi's plan for a detailed military alliance between Hungary and the Aragonese Crown against the Turks and its financial conditions, in addition to this Hunyadi offered the Hungarian crown to Alfonso: according to this plan Ladislas Hunyadi would come to Alfonso's court (the alternatives being: to be educated, to be a hostage, or for a marriage with a granddaughter of Alfonso): and Hunyadi would be guaranteed that he could keep his leading role in Hungary.

    The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance and Morisco Identity By Elizabeth Ashcroft Terry A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction Of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Thomas Dandelet, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor Ignacio E. Navarrete Summer 2015 The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance, and Morisco Identity © 2015 by Elizabeth Ashcroft Terry All Rights Reserved The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance and Morisco Identity By Elizabeth Ashcroft Terry Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California-Berkeley Thomas Dandelet, Chair Abstract In the Spanish city of Granada, beginning with its conquest by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492, Christian aesthetics, briefly Gothic, and then classical were imposed on the landscape. There, the revival of classical Roman culture took place against the backdrop of Islamic civilization. The Renaissance was brought to the city by its conquerors along with Christianity and Castilian law. When Granada fell, many Muslim leaders fled to North Africa. Other elite families stayed, collaborated with the new rulers and began to promote this new classical culture. The Granada Venegas were one of the families that stayed, and participated in the Renaissance in Granada by sponsoring a group of writers and poets, and they served the crown in various military capacities. They were royal, having descended from a Sultan who had ruled Granada in 1431. Cidi Yahya Al Nayar, the heir to this family, converted to Christianity prior to the conquest. Thus he was one of the Morisco elites most respected by the conquerors.

    COAT OF ARMS OF KING FERDINAND THE CATHOLIC Kingdom of Naples(?), 1504-1512 Coat of Arms of King Ferdinand the Catholic Kingdom of Naples(?), 1504-1512 Marble 113 x 73.5 cm Carved out of marble, this coat of arms of King Ferdinand the Catholic represents both his lineage and his sovereignties. It is rectangular, with rounded inferior angles, ending in a point at the base and three points at the chief, a common shape in early sixteenth-century Spain. It is a quartered coat of arms, with its first and fourth quarters counterquartered with the arms of Castile-Leon, and its second and third quarters tierced per pale with the arms of Aragon, counterquartered per saltire with Sicily and counter-tierced with the arms of Hungary, Anjou and Jerusalem referring to Naples, besides the enté en point for Granada. It is crested by an open royal crown that has lost its rosette cresting, and it was originally supported by an eagle, as shown by the claws on the third and fourth quarters and the springing of the wings and the neck above the crown. Ferdinand the Catholic and the arms of Castile-Leon The counterquartered for Castile-Leon features, in the first and fourth quarters, a crenelated castle with three merlons, an emblem for the Castilian monarchs adopted by Alfonso VIII shortly before 1176 and, in the second and third quarters, the crowned lion rampant of the monarchs of Leon, of pre-heraldic origins, around the mid-eleventh century. The combination emerged as a symbol for the union of the kingdoms of Castile and Leon in 1230 effected by Ferdinand III the Saint.
