"I, The King is the story of Philip IV of Spain and of the women who most influenced his life. Among them was his first wife, Isabel of Bourbon, the beautiful child bride who became his wife and respected Regent; his 'true love' Inés Calderón, the charming young actress, who gave him his best-loved son; and Sor María, the Abbess, gifted with mystical powers, of a remote provincial convent, whose correspondence with the King, comprising more than 600 letters and covering a period of more than twenty years, remains a record of one of the most remarkable friendships in history.Philip was an arresting and attractive character. He was a patron of the arts and, under his sponsorship, painting and literature attained the degree of supremacy which made his era the Golden Age of Spanish culture. Moreover, he himself was an accomplished draftsman, sonneteer and muscian. His versatility did not end there. He was a superb horseman, a champion at cane tourneys and a sportsman who hunted in every sort of weather. As a lover, he was irresistible. But he lacked the energy to govern his kingdom himself and the will power to overcome the sins of the flesh. His downfall was the sad result of these shortcomings., Fawcett Crest, 1967, 2.5, St Martins Pr. Paperback. GOOD. Spine creases, wear to binding and pages from reading.
