We arrived at number 12 on one of the best classic series have been published as far as concerns historical comic (with permission of Palacios, Bourgeon and Juillard)
H. Ives in this issue (Son of Hermann) took the reins of the scripts and with his father, and the fantastic drawing of this, it presents a story set in Spain in 1325, when the Crown of Castile and his very young King Alfonso XI, fighting the armies of Al-Andalus, continuing the campaign of reconquest that will take them from Toledo to Granada.
We may face the worst number in the whole series. And it is mainly a script that tries to escape the historical accuracy that the series we had used to hide behind a dreamlike narrative that tries to give a lesson tolerance too visible that fails to convince entirely. With a protagonist, a descendant of the lineage of Aimar de Bois-Maury, who feels neither fighting nor the place as theirs.
This would have to add the item happens to us today. Many of their locations are part of inventive authors, and eye, I say that this is bad, but in a comic that assumes a certain historical accuracy is the least curious to find a monastery near Toledo called San Gabriel (none) , a walled city with the name of Monterrico (nonexistent) and have allowed me to compare it with Jaén and Castillo de Santa Catalina, or a leader (unknown) of the conquered Granada called Rachid Al-Muayyad (?)
Despite the above, there are vignettes that show a great documentation (such as the minaret of the Mosque of Cordoba, see below) and the comic, it is entertaining and, most importantly, does not devalue the whole work.
Here are some of these locations.
A greeting.
