«La princesa de Éboli» is the biography of Ana de Mendoza y de la Cerda written by Gaspar Muro, published by Editorial Maxtor in paperback (276 pages).
The work follows Ana de Mendoza y de la Cerda from her birth in 1540 into the Mendoza family, linked to the court. It recounts how she lost an eye practicing fencing, her marriage to Ruy Gómez de Silva and her relationship with Antonio Pérez, secretary to Philip II, which led to intrigues, exile and her death in 1592 at the palace of Pastrana.
The work was originally published in 1877, with a prologue by Antonio Cánovas del Castillo; this Maxtor edition omits the original's footnotes.
For readers interested in historical biographies and the inner workings of the court of Philip II.
