Old
Court Life in Spain
By Frances M. Elliot
Author of “Old Court Life in France,” etc.
_2 vols. With 8 Photogravures and 48 Other Illustrations._
_$5.00_
The author presents a picturesque record of the romantic early days of
courtly Spain, concluding her narrative with the reign of Ferdinand and
Isabella and the new era of things ushered in by them. There pass before
the reader’s gaze the martial figures of the Gothic kings, those
barbarians of the North who ruled Spain for two centuries and a half,
forgetting, under the spell of its sunny clime, the rugged gods that
received the worship of their ancestors. With the downfall of Roderick,
the Moors sweep into the country and henceforth the history is that of a
divided land, where the Cross is elevated against the Crescent, where
clash of sword and scimitar frequently resounds, and Saracen warriors
vie in gallantry and skill with those who do battle for the Faith.
