Sunday morning, Toledo

Alba Photo

A good excuse to return to Toledo when a friend comes to see me.
After visiting, I return to the Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Valle (Chapel of Our Lady of the Valley) where we have one of the best views of Toledo.
Trivia:
The first time I came to this Ermita, I heard the sound charming little bell every turn, I realized that every time someone came out, it sounded this bell.
Naturally, I asked why.
They explained that this is not the virgin patron saint of Toledo is highly venerated, which is can make a wish, it will come true if we look back to see her.
This place is magical.

Then, after this visit, a good Arroz con chopitos, jugo de perejil and garlic sauce (rice with squid mini juice, parsley and garlic sauce) tasted marvelously this table finishes the day.

Wikipedia, la princesa de Eboli Antonio Herrera Casado, la princesa Manuel Fernandez de Eboli Alvarez, Antonio Perez de Gregorio Marañon.

too Intrigued by the character, I did some research to
know his life because so many rumors have always circulated.

Castilian English aristocrat, she belonged to one of the most powerful families of the time.
La princesa de Eboli married 12 years with Ruiz Gomez de Silva, Prince of Eboli recommendation on the future king of Spain Felipe II (son of Charles V). After
her marriage, she remained living with his family four years before joining her husband's residence. She had 10 children.
No official document has been found that could explain the loss of his right eye .

She was one of the finest ladies of the court, one of the most talented women of her time.
Haughty, bossy, determined, intriguing, she practiced in the court a great influence, close to King Felipe II of Spain and Isabella of Valois, his wife, daughter of the King of France Henry II and Catherine de Medici.

the death of her husband , La Princesa de Eboli decided to become a nun in a convents of Discalced Carmelites (founded Santa Teresa of Avila ) that it had built in Pastrana and forced to become his servants also .
He conceded, therefore, a cell in the austere convent. She grew tired, and sat in a small house in the garden of the convent with her servants.
This house had direct access to the street, which allowed him to go as he pleased.
Given this situation, Teresa of Avila ordered his religious to abandon the convent.

La princesa found himself alone with his servants until the day she joined his Palace in Madrid, after publishing an autobiography Teresa of Avila on deformed , this which caused a scandal full Inquisition .
The book was banned for 10 years.

After the death of her husband, it seems that la Princesa de Eboli was the lover of secretary of King Felipe II Antonio Ruiz (no document confirms), involved in a conspiracy and assassination of the Secretary the king's brother and possible plot to get the vacant throne of Portugal for one of his son (no document confirms and King Felipe II burned his correspondence before his death).

Her lover Antonio Ruiz managed to escape.
La princesa de Eboli was made prisoner and locked (13 years) on the orders of King , Pastrana in his castle until his death.
Prohibition from leaving his room in the castle turn right and permission to look at the window to large bars, a hour a day.
Since then, the square outside the castle keep this name "Plaza de la Hora."
