whether or not he was the Queen’s lover,
he was the King’s faithful friend. When
D. Enrique was dead he served the Catholic
Kings both in the Navarrese war and
before Granada: his name figures as Duke
of Albuquerque, among those of other
grandees at the surrender of the city. His
tomb , which was perhaps erected by a grand-
daughter that founded the Convent of S.
Anne in Cuellar in 1572, stood in the
Church of S. Francisco there, until that
was destroyed. Since he had died, full of
years, more than two generations before,
the effigy can represent no more than a
tradition: traditional he moves for a brief
while across our stage, holding the Master-
ship only from 1462 till at the King’s bid-
ding he renounced it: “as a loyal servitor
and without treason or aught for which it
should be taken away.” This was in 1467,
but possibly he was supplanted earlier,
for Enriquez del Castillo reckons that he
held the Mastership only three years.
There is, however, a modem study by
D. Antonio Rodriguez Villa from which
this outline may be transferred:
