Synopsis "felipe iv"

this volume originated from the cycle of lectures organised by the real academia de la historia to provide a more accurate and true-to-life view of philip the fourth in spanish history. shunning the traditional image of a weak and frivolous king, eleven prestigious historians analyse various facets of the monarch and his reign: politics and the economy; war and diplomacy; the major constructive and decorative undertakings; painting and theatre; and pastimes and personal affections.
