Matar al rey

1312. Rivers of blood run through the kingdom of Castilla y León after the death of Fernando IV, when his son and heir, Alfonso XI, is barely a year old. While nobles and members of the court fight a terrible fight to seize the throne, only María de Molina and Constanza de Portugal, Alfonso's grandmother and mother, will protect him and hatch a complex web of intrigues and alliances to keep the crown that everyone covets. . This novel begins a bilogy in which the renowned medievalist and writer José Luis Corral addresses the reigns of Alfonso XI the Justiciero, and his son Pedro I of Castile the Cruel. Forbidden loves, poisoned pacts, thirst for justice and ruthless men give life to this fascinating narrative.
