thing has never been used to recommend reading this blog, but the latest reading fell into my hands I was so pleasantly surprised by his fictional story, pretty well built, for its historical section commentator below
The novel is titled "Lords of Biscay knights of Castile ", a title already in itself highly suggestive that hides a complex history of relations of power, war - and how could it be otherwise in a good historical novel - of love. And in their account pages always difficult balance of power that ruled the noble estate of the late Middle Ages.
In a society where grants of titles and powers marked the loyalties and where denaturing of the nobles were extremely rare. Highlights for special - and very straight my previous post - the so-complex relationship of loyalty and hate that the family of Harold , lords of Biscay, and more specifically D. Lope Diaz III and his brother Harold D. Diego López de Haro V - founder of the town of Bilbao, held in conflicts and internal wars under the reign of Alfonso X great "Sage" and his son Sancho IV "El bravo" mainly. Ultimately
find a work in which the reader may approach in an entertaining way the history of the Middle Ages of Biscay, and Castile itself.
