History is built from real data, events, and characters, but historians select some facts and leave others aside or give them little importance. It is through this selection process that the histories of Spain are written, from the Middle Ages to the present, giving these narratives a particular political and moral meaning. In the histories of Spain, there is an omnipresent theme: betrayal and traitors. Already in classical Antiquity, we have cases like Viriato or Numancia; in medieval history, we encounter the theme of the loss of Spain and the betrayal of Count Don Julián, along with great epic poems of betrayal such as the Cantar del Mío Cid; and in the modern and contemporary periods, there are numerous examples of traitors, individual or collective, who break their pact or oath of loyalty to the king and in many cases seek to remove him from the throne, whether these are Prince Carlos, Antonio Pérez, or social movements like the comuneros and the successive revolts that took place in Catalonia. Alongside these politically active traitors, there are also hidden groups assumed to be permanently lurking, constituting the figure of the internal enemy. The main protagonists will be the Jews, later converted into Marranos, the Moriscos, and, in the contemporary era, the Freemasons and their secret society, the liberals and afrancesados, and the eternally conspiratorial communists. These two models, the politically active traitor and the hidden enemy, will pass from Spanish historiography to the three nationalist historiographies: Galician, with its confrontation between the Celt and the Roman or the Spanish; Basque, with its claim to purity of blood; and Catalan historiography, with its contrast between Catalans and Spaniards. All these themes can be seen throughout this book, in which betrayal and the traitor appear configured as a kind of curse in the history of Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57584355344728,"sku":"AMZ9788446047230","price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/5593253485195.jpg?v=1782689744","url":"https:\/\/www.plasticbooks.uk\/en\/products\/la-traicion-en-la-historia-de-espana-9788446047230","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
