Revisado: 04-22-16
This is a very exciting book. I read it prior to a visit to Madrid. It is not so much a tourist view of Madrid. But is steeped in real history. I enjoyed every page. And couldn't wait for the end. The prologue was a bit sad.

Political heavy book
Revisado: 05-12-15
Good insight into political or kings but gets rather tedious at times. But you have to stay focused as there are a large amount of central charaxhters.
