IN SPAIN
1
A Brief Account of the Military
Orders in Spain
The intention of this little book is to supply
Intro-
for persons of taste and cultivation, who
may be travelling in Spain or reading
Spanish books, a brief account of the foun-
dation and fall of the three great Orders:
Calatrava, Alcantara and Santiago. Mon-
tesa is included, chiefly for the sake of
symmetry, though the history and the
figures that move through it belong exclu-
duction
sively to the east coast. The others, how-
ever, are so essentially Castilian, and so
many of the great names in Spanish story
stand on the roll of Masters, that a word
about them cannot come amiss. In passing
Old
through the courts of Seville the tourist
hears a vague murmur of the cruel death
of the Master D. Fadrique: in approaching
Granada the Romance rings in his ears:
tradition
Ah, God, what a good knight was the
Master of Calatrava!
