A 15th-century Castilian nobleman and poet, Jorge Manrique cultivated courtly lyric: love works, songs, inventions, mottoes, and questions or answers. Jorge Manrique's name remains linked to the Coplas sobre la muerte de su padre, a text that critics consider a summit of Castilian poetry.

Intended for scholars and lovers of classical Spanish poetry.
Jorge Manrique was a major Castilian poet, whose main work, the Coplas por la muerte de su padre , is still read today. He was a supporter of the queen Isabel I of Castile, and actively participated on her side in the civil war that broke out against her half-brother, Enrique IV, when the latter attempted to make his daughter, Juana, crown princess. Jorge died in 1479 during an attempt to take the castle of Garcimuñoz, defended by the Marquis of Villena, after Isabel gained the crown.
