Description

Castellano is a historical novel that explores the 1521 revolt of the Comuneros against Charles V, an event that shaped the identity of Spain. The epic uprising of the people of Castile against the abuse of power by Charles V culminated in the Battle of Villalar on April 23, 1521.

The battle marked the definitive decline of a prosperous kingdom that spanned three continents, whose dissolution led to the rise of a new empire that exploited its people and resources. The Comuneros' revolt was a dream of pride and freedom, but ultimately crushed by imperial forces who decapitated their leaders: Padilla, Bravo, and Maldonado.

This novel is a journey into the failure of this dream, born from a desire for pride and freedom in the face of ambition and greed. It also reflects the author's personal discovery of his Castilian heritage and its impact on his character and worldview.
