Afonso X

1221-11-23 — 1284-04-04 · Toledo

Afonso X, known as the Wise, was king of León and Castile and one of the most important figures in the history of the medieval Iberian Peninsula. His notoriety stems not only from his reign, but above all from his role as a patron of the arts and sciences and his vast intellectual output. He encouraged the translation of works into Castilian, promoting the development of the language and culture, and left a lasting legacy through his own compilations and treatises in various fields of knowledge.
