The Latin Chronicle of the Kings of Castile (review)

Abstract

This annotated translation of a little-known chronicle of the thirteenth century was produced by Professor O'Callaghan to provide undergraduate students, effectively unable to read Latin, with a roughly contemporary account of [End Page 545] the reigns of Kings Alfonso VIII (1158-1214) and Fernando III (1217-1252) of Castile. To supplement the account itself, he has provided no less than three political maps of Iberia and three genealogical tables of major actors of the times. He has also supplied fourteen pages of his own introduction to the political history of Castile in the central Middle Ages, and to the manuscript tradition, the authorship, and the date of the chronicle.
