Apuntes biográficos sobre Alonso de Ávila, secretario de los Reyes Católicos
Abstract
This article offers fundamental information on the judeoconvert Alfonso de Ávila. As secretary of the Catholic Monarchs, he played a very important role during the initial years of the reign, up to his death at the beginning of 1490. During this chronological period, he developed a bureaucratic career that led to his social and economic ascent, notwithstanding his Jewish ancestry. In addition, the study offers some information on the legacy that Alfonso de Avila left his descendants, especially his only son, Francisco de Ávila, who also devoted himself to the royal service.Downloads
