Genre: theater
Age: Contemporary Age
Description: In four acts in verse, it stars a female triangle that pursues different interests. Eleanor, princess of Castile and queen of Navarre, intrigues on behalf of King Henry's advisors to maintain her privileges. María, a character without historical endorsement, is a countess who seduces the king, in cahoots with the nobility and Doña Leonor, so that the monarch repudiates his wife and ascends her to the throne. Catherine of Lancaster, queen of Castile and winner of the conflict, is a “white dove”, a “beautiful angel of love”, spokesperson for the values of the monarchy and guarantor of a nation that insistently wishes to be united.Manuscript preserved, Arturo Sedó Theater Collection, Library of the Institut del Teatre, Barcelona, 1847.
