This collection retells the semi-legendary events surrounding the collapse of a ruling dynasty in Iberia and the subsequent invasion, blending historical chronicle with romantic and supernatural detail. It follows the rise and misrule of a young king, a personal dishonor that prompts a vengeful noble to seek foreign aid, and the arrival of energetic commanders whose campaigns and sieges overwhelm local resistance. Episodes interweave battlefield engagements, secret betrayals, prophetic visions, and marvelous relics such as a talismanic table and prodigious towers and caves, closing with the defeat of the native forces and the full subjugation of the peninsula.
