摘要：Alonso of Cartagena (1385-1456) wrote “motu proprio” the Genealogía de los reyes de España. However, the writing process itself was discontinous. First, it was meant for King John II (1454- ). But after his dead, it ended as dedicated to the chapter of Burgos (1456), because it was disregarded by King Henry IV. In the Preface he develops humanistic topics and justifies the double nature of his work by means of the medieval mnemotecnic theory. Don Alonso produced a rigorous iconic system. It combines clothing, attributes and gestures, to provide a picture of castilian royalty, that praises the “fortitudo”. This fundamental virtue is aimed at enhancing the war against the Moors, which is thought as the proper commitment of the Hispanic Monarchy.
