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few months ago revealed that they had located the place where the inn where was knighted Don Quixote have now found new historical documents supporting the story of Don Quixote and people stood real that was based Cervantes.
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 Mota del 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 of La Mancha municipalities of El Toboso and Miguel Esteban.
Pedro de Villaseñor, who was a friend of Cervantes as he recognizes “Persiles jobs and Sigismunda” and Francisco de Acuña, another gentleman from La Mancha, tried to kill himself with spears in the way of Toboso Miguel Esteban in 1581, according to the National Historical Archive texts and other military orders.
Every day, Villaseñor and Acuña were dressed as medieval knights, with helmets, shields, coats, uprights and daggers, and Escudero and Sánchez Duque believe that Miguel de Cervantes could know these facts-and that Villaseñor 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 is what made the enemies of the Villaseñor against they. Unbelievable but true, 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, at least, controversial. In his surname Quijada, could add Cervantes a pejorative suffix that led Quijote.
Escudero explained that Don Quixote is “a parody, a 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.
The Most

“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 Villaseñor that possibly also be enemies of Cervantes Cervantes or those considered enemies, “he added.
Controversial
On the other hand, Escudero Sánchez Duque and which are not Mancha, but vallisoletana and Madrid- not convince them that the model for the Quijote outside Salazar Alonso Quijano, an Augustinian friar Esquivias who died long before I was born Cervantes and that was not the environment of El Toboso.
This friar as possible Quijote is a proposed Astrana Marin in 1948 and these researchers called them “strongly” the attention that was the only way in almost seventy years, so kept looking.
Thus have arrived the ruler Rodrigo Quijada, who have found half a dozen documents, none of which portrays him as a “good” man, because it was “a very controversial figure who 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.
must have died around 1581, according to data that has brought them Alfonso Ruiz Castellanos, chronicler of Quero (Toledo) and researcher of Villasenor. 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 to be 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 Cervantes novel dedicated 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 will publish this research, in addition to make it available in various international fora 2015.
