POEMS BY ALVARO DE LUNA:

ALVARO DE LUNA, from a mere page became Grand Constable of Castile through the favor of Juan II. He obtained unbounded power and wealth, but earned the hatred of the nobles, who procured his abandonment and execution by his King in 1453. His poems are characteristic in their frivolous, daring manner of the age in which he flourished. Some of his poetical work is to be found in the Cancionera de Baena (edition of P.J. Pidal, Madrid, 1851).
