NOTES
The story of Alfonso XI (1311-1350) king of Leon and Castille.;
It is possible that, according to the cover of the Toledo edition of 1595, it was written by Juan Núñez de Villasán, Officer of León, Condestable de Castilla and favorite of Enrique II, but some authorities consider that it was really only the copyist. It seems to be the work of Fernán Sánchez de Valladolid;
