The Rise of the Spanish Empire in the Old World and in the New
By R. B. MERRIMAN
In Four Volumes
Cloth, 8vo
Volume I The Middle Ages
Volume II The Catholic Kings
This work, the first two volumes of which are now published, aims to show the continuity of the story of the reconquest of Spain from the Moors and of the conquest of her vast dominions beyond the seas. The first volume deals principally with the narrative and constitutional history of the different Spanish kingdoms in the middle ages, and with the growth of the Aragonese Empire in the western basin of the Mediterranean. The second volume describes the union of the crowns and the reorganization of Spain under Ferdinand and Isabella. It recounts the beginnings of a new period of expansion in America and North Africa, and the early stages of the conflict of France and Spain for the supremacy of western Europe. This history forms an indispensable background for the study of Spanish America.
