The idea of Alfonso X as a Kendall Roy --and most of his translation works and literary output as a means of "living up to his dad"-- makes a weird amount of sense.

A splendid #manuscript has been digitised & highlighted by the #BL. It's a grant by #AlfonsoX & his queen #Violante, "reigning as one" (regnante en uno), in the year in which Lord Edward son of #HenryIII of England was knighted in #Burgos - 1254, when the future #EdwardIII came to marry #EleanorOfCastile. The attached seal of Castile & León is not wax but lead.
