The historian and archaeologist few months ago revealed that they had located the place where the inn where was knighted Don Quixote have now found new historical documents supporting the story of Don Quixote and people stood real in that Cervantes was based.
Six months ago the archivist and historian Francisco Javier Escudero and archaeologist Isabel Sánchez Duque revealed that a medieval sale was open for more than two centuries by the current chapel of Manjavacas, in Butte Cuervo (Cuenca) , could be the inn where Alonso Quijano was knighted.
Now have advanced their new historical discoveries and ensure that the plot of Don Quixote had real protagonists, contemporaries Miguel de Cervantes and neighbors Mancha municipalities of El Toboso and Miguel Esteban .
Escudero explained that Don Quixote is “a parody, mockery”
Pedro de Villaseñor, who was a friend of Cervantes as he recognizes in Persiles jobs and Sigismunda , and Francisco de Acuña, another gentleman from La Mancha, tried to kill himself with spears on the road to Toboso Miguel Esteban in 1581, according to the text of the National Historical Archive and other military orders.
A diary, Villaseñor and Acuña dressed like medieval knights , with helmets, shields, coats, uprights and daggers, and Escudero and Sánchez Duque believe that Miguel de Cervantes was able to meet these Villaseñor made -and that were his friends and parodied his novel a story and real character.
“We found that Acuña tried to kill Villaseñor dressed gentleman, with all the medieval aparataje, and we realized that the story of Don Quixote is not invented, is real: it’s what they did Unbelievable but true, Villaseñor enemies against them. is documented , “Escudero says emphatically.
Before that date is documented in 1573 attempted murder of another Villaseñor Diego in El Toboso and here appears a third character, Rodrigo Quijada, who was indicted this year and whose life was, the less , controversial. In his surname Quijada, Cervantes could add a pejorative suffix that led Quijote.
Escudero explained that Don Quixote is “a parody, mockery” and considering that no novels are written to make fun of friends, Cervantes had gestarla to “ridicule” who were no longer enemies, but the enemies of the Villaseñor.
“We are still in the preliminary stage and may appear much more, but what seems clear is that Don Quixote is dedicated to mock those enemies of the Villaseñor that possibly are also enemies of Cervantes or to Cervantes considered enemies “he added.
On the other hand, Escudero Sánchez Duque and which are not Mancha, but Valladolid and Madrid- not convince them that the model for the Quijote outside Salazar Alonso Quijano, an Augustinian friar who died long before Esquivias Cervantes was born and was not the environment El Toboso .
This friar as possible Quijote is a proposed Astrana Marin in 1948 and these researchers called them “strongly” the attention they were the only assumption in almost seventy, so we kept looking .
Thus have reached the councilman Rodrigo Quijada, who have found half a dozen documents, none of which portrays him as a “good” man, as it was “ a very controversial figure that was frowned upon in all the villages in the area, “and that, according to his biography, abuse that is given in the novel Don Quixote deserved.
The two researchers sense that their studies will bring controversy
He must have died around 1581, according to data that has brought them Alfonso Ruiz Castellanos , chronicler of Quero ( Toledo) and researcher of Villaseñor. All these characters also come together in a geographic area, along with Cervantes.
The two researchers sense that their studies will bring controversy, but advance that they will continue working to prove if, for example, Rodrigo Cervantes Quijada was enemy or his friends Villaseñor “ and deserved that they mocked him in the novel “.
In this regard, consider investigate the Villaseñor, Acuña, Quijada and other nobles of the area is “a good line of research because it is the broth drinking Cervantes” and that can respond to the Asked why dedicated Cervantes a novel to a city that was not hers and about certain characters.
Escudero and Sánchez Duque takes time researching the route that inspired Miguel de Cervantes to write Don Quixote and work in the collection called Tierra del Quijote , in which fifth issue shall publish these investigations, in addition to giving them known in various international fora in 2015 .
