This is the first complete biography of one of the most brilliant
fifteenth-century monarchs, Alfonso V of Aragon. Ryder traces
Alfonso's life from his childhood in the chivalric world of Castile
to the newly-acquired states of Aragon and his subsequent accession
to the Aragonese throne. In addition to being a shrewd politician,
Alfonso is revealed to have been an accomplished diplomat, acutely
aware of the power of commerce, and one of the greatest patrons of
the early Renaissance. He brought humanism to life in Southern
Italy and made his court the most brilliant in Europe. Offering not
only an insightful look at Alfonso's life but a vivid portrait of
political and cultural life during his reign, this volume will hold
special appeal for scholars and students of early modern European
history, fifteenth-century Italian and Spanish history, and
Renaissance studies.
