The Triumph of an Accursed Lineage analyses kingship in Castile
between 1252 and 1350, with a particular focus on the pivotal reign
of Alfonso XI (r. 1312-1350). This century witnessed significant
changes in the ways in which the Castilian monarchy constructed and
represented its power in this period. The ideas and motifs used to
extoll royal authority, the territorial conceptualisation of the
kingdom, the role queens and the royal family played, and the
interpersonal relationship between the kings and the nobility were
all integral to this process. Ultimately, this book addresses how
Alfonso XI, a member of an accursed lineage who rose to the throne
when he was an infant, was able to end the internal turmoil which
plagued Castile since the 1270s and become a paradigm of successful
kingship. This book will appeal to scholars and students of
medieval Spain, as well as those interested in the history of
kingship.
