This comprehensive volume delves into the intricate mechanisms employed by the Marquises of Villena and their adversaries in the cultural realm of late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. With a focus on this pivotal period, the book explores the profound impact of political tensions on the historical landscape, revealing how they not only fueled military conflicts but also gave rise to conflicts fought on cultural grounds. Through a detailed examination of these two aristocratic figures, the book demonstrates how political rivalries shaped the promotion of artistic, religious, and literary programs, ultimately shaping the conflicting historical memories of the time.

In her insightful analysis, Maria Teresa Chicote Pompanin sheds light on the reasons behind the Marquises of Villena's defeat in both the military and cultural arenas. She unravels the intricate process by which their adversaries in the late fifteenth century crafted negative historical narratives, which ultimately solidified as the official historical truth that remains unchallenged to this day. This book holds immense appeal to scholars engaged in the fields of art history, cultural history, medieval studies, Renaissance studies, Iberian studies, literary studies, and patronage studies, as it offers valuable insights into the complex interplay of power, politics, and cultural expression during this pivotal period in history.
