AB Diego de Valera (1412-1488) was a scholar and diplomat in the service of the Juan II, Enrique IV, and the Catholic Monarchs in fifteenth-century Castile. Although his specula principis, chronicles and epistles have been much studied from a historical and historiographical point of view, no work to date has focused on their references to England. The extracts that in them relate to the English court and nobility will be selected and analysed here, with the aim of clarifying what aspects of the geography, monarchy and courtly customs of fifteenth-century England became known to the Castilian aristocracy through De Valera’s work. They also first reveal details about his diplomatic embassy to England in 1442. This BA Dissertation intends to contribute an unexplored chapter of the historical and cultural relations between Castile and England during the 1400s.
