Note 7 — Chapter I

The exact sequence and dates of these and the following events have never yet been made clear in any of the numerous histories of the time, not even in Prescott, owing to the fact that Enriquez de Castillo and Pulgar very rarely give dates, whilst Galindez only mentions the years of such happenings as he records. The printing of the contemporary so-called ‘Cronicon de Valladolid’ (partly written by Isabel’s physician, Dr. Toledo) in the ‘Documentos Ineditos,’ now enables us to set forth the events chronologically, and thus the better to understand their significance.
