Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details the arrangements made by Philip II of Spain in 1573 to transfer seven royal Catholic bodies from Granada to the newly completed Monastery of San Lorenzo in El Escorial. These bodies included the remains of the author's father, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V; his third wife, Isabella of Valois; his son Carlos; and other royal family members. The author, Pedro de Deza, President of the Royal Chancellery of Granada, was heavily involved in the planning and execution of this sensitive operation. Deza's letters to the King provide an invaluable glimpse into the complex diplomatic, religious and logistical challenges involved in moving the bodies, as well as the elaborate ceremonies and rituals surrounding such a significant event. Philip II's desire to create a unified necropolis for his family reflected both his personal piety and his political strategy of consolidating the power of the Spanish monarchy.
