Juana I
This book examines the deep and lengthy crisis of legitimacy triggered by the death of Prince Juan of Castile and Aragon in 1497 and the subsequent ascent of Juana I to the throne in 1504. Confined by historiography and myth to the madwoman’s attic, Juana emerges here as a key figure at the heart of a period of tremendous upheaval, reaching its peak in the war of the Comunidades, or comunero uprising of 1520–1522. Gillian Fleming traces the conflicts generated by the ambitions of Juana’s father, husband and son, and the controversial marginalisation and imprisonment of Isabel of Castile’s legitimate heir. Analysing Juana’s problems and strategies, failures and successes, Fleming argues that the period cannot be properly understood without taking into account the long shadow that Juana I cast over her kingdoms and over a crucial period of transition for Spain and Europe.

War and Government in Habsburg Spain, 1560-1620
Spanien i det 16. århundrede oplevede både kulminationen som en førende stormagt i Europa og den begyndende tilbagegang som en følge af krigene mod Nederlandene, Frankrig og Tyrkiet, der i forbindelse med de ambitiøse oversøiske ekspeditioner stillede for store krav til de økonomiske og militære ressourcer. Forfatteren beskriver, hvordan den spanske regering på grund af den begyndende nedgang gradvis overlod den militære administration til lokale myndigheder og private entreprenører.
Conversos, Inquisition, and the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain
The Jewish community of medieval Spain was the largest and most important in the West for more than a thousand years, participating fully in cultural and political affairs with Muslim and Christian neighbors. This stable situation began to change in the 1390s, and through the next century hundreds of thousands of Jews converted to Christianity. Norman Roth argues here with detailed documentation that, contrary to popular myth, the conversos were sincere converts who hated (and were hated by) the remaining Jewish community. Roth examines in depth the reasons for the Inquisition against the conversos, and the eventual expulsion of all Jews from Spain. “With scrupulous scholarship based on a ...
La Gobernación de la Monarquía de España
Esta obra de Feliciano Barrios, catedrático de Historia del Derecho y de las Instituciones de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha y reconocido especialista en la materia que nos ocupa, se adentra en el estudio de la monarquía hispánica bajo los Austrias desde su doble condición de Imperio universal y católico. Como pieza central de tan vasto aparato y titular de una corona extendida sobre dos mundos, el rey es analizado en su simbología diversa: armas reales, insigne Orden del Toisón de Oro, sello real y firma regia. Pero la figura de monarca se convierte, a su vez, en un poderoso imán que genera un espacio para su desenvolvimiento, una corte y un sistema de gobierno. El espacio es ...
