Isabel La Catolica, Queen of Castile: Critical Essays, David A. Boruchoff (Editor) Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Published: 2002

Read my Review...

   David M. Gitlitz and Linda Kay Davidson, The Pilgrimage Road to Santiago : The Complete Cultural Handbook St. Martin's Griffin; 1st ed edition (July 2000)
 

On the way to the port of Corunna, Catalina went to Santiago as a pilgrim, taking advantage of the indulgence of that year. This book has really made me want to experience * the road* too – but if that doesn’t happen, it was especially helpful in descriptions of landscape, fauna and flora, etc…

 But it still hasn’t answered the questions about whether an unwed princess would dress the part of a pilgrim and go through all the various rituals before going to Saint James. Still hunting for the answer…

 Antonia Fraser, The six wives of Henry VIII, Arrow Books, 1998 –

It was this book which made me decide to get  Hispanic Costume 1480-1530. I wanted to know the kind of veil Fraser claimed highborn Castilian girls wore. Anderson’s book has me conclude it really was a mantle, rather than veil, as the veil, framing the face, didn’t cover a woman’s face completely…

Benvenuto Cellini, The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini, translated and with an introduction by George Bull, Penguin Books, 1956.

Cellini was at “The field of cloth of Gold.”

I also express my sincere thanks to a very kind historian who has loaned me his thesis on Chapuys, hoping he hasn't minded it rather lengthy stay on my bookshelf.
