EDITORS COMMENTS
This magnificent genealogical chart, titled "Genealogia de los Reyes de Espana" (Genealogy of the Kings of Spain), dates back to 1463 and is a testament to the rich history and complex dynastic relationships of the monarchs of the Kingdoms of Castile and Navarra in Spain during the late Middle Ages. The chart, which is currently housed in the National Library of Spain in Madrid, is a visual representation of the royal lineages of the kings and queens of the two kingdoms, illustrating the intricate web of alliances, marriages, and successions that shaped the political landscape of the Iberian Peninsula during this period. At the center of the chart stands Alonso de Cartagena (1384-1456), the Archbishop of Seville and the principal author of the work. Surrounding his portrait are the portraits of the kings and queens of Castile and Navarra, arranged in a hierarchical order based on their familial relationships. The chart begins with the founding figures of the two kingdoms, Alfonso XI of Castile and Sancho the Wise of Navarre, and continues through the generations, highlighting the marriages and successions that linked the two lines. The intricate design of the chart reflects the regal and monarchical nature of the subject matter, with each portrait framed by a richly decorated border and accompanied by inscriptions detailing the names, titles, and dates of the individuals depicted. The use of heraldic symbols and the inclusion of the coats of arms of the various royal houses further emphasizes the importance of the monarchy in the political and cultural life of medieval Spain. The "Genealogia de los Reyes de Espana" is a valuable historical document that provides insights into the complex political relationships and familial ties that shaped the Iberian Peninsula during the late Middle Ages. Its intricate design and rich detail make it a visual feast for historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in the history of Spain and its monarchy.
