The Genealogy of the Kings of Spain, probably made between 1526 and 1539, is a masterfully illuminated manuscript created for Isabel, consort of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. Its text is attributed to Alonso de Cartagena. The manuscript features intricate decorations, including rich borders, cartouches, and medallions interspersed with key biographical facts. The painted embellishments include portraits of prominent figures, coats of arms, and emblems, enriching the genealogical text and vividly illustrating the royal lineages of Spain. The embellishments are integrated into the manuscript, adding both aesthetic beauty and historical significance.

We have 2 facsimiles of the manuscript "Genealogy of the Kings of Spain":

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
