About the Author

Fernando IV, known as the Summoned, reigned as King of Castile and León from 1295 to 1312, ascending the throne at a tender age following the tumultuous rule of his father, Sancho IV. His sovereignty was marked by internal strife, noble rebellions, and diplomatic maneuvers amid the Reconquista's ongoing campaigns against Muslim kingdoms in Iberia. Despite his youth and the regency's influence, Fernando IV convened the Cortes, assemblies that shaped medieval governance and legal reforms. Historical records, including proceedings from these gatherings, offer insights into his era's political dynamics. A posthumously compiled volume, 'Cortes Celebradas En Los Reynados De D. Sancho Iv Y De D. Fernando Iv.: Publicanlas Con Algunas Observaciones Los Doctores D. Ignacio Jordan De Asso Y ... De Manuel Y Rodriguez... (Spanish Edition),' preserves these vital documents, edited by scholars to illuminate the legislative legacy of his reign.
