Overview

«Los nacionalismos manipulan la Historia para justificar su visión del pasado. Jamás existió una Corona catalano-aragonesa, y así lo demuestro en esta novela sobre Jaime I el Conquistador.» -José Luis Corral

Ningún soberano gobernó en España tanto tiempo como él, ninguno ganó tantas batallas, ninguno conquistó tantos reinos como Jaime I el Conquistador, rey de Aragón, de Valencia y de Mallorca, conde de Barcelona y de Urgel, señor de Montpellier.

Esta es su prodigiosa historia, su asombrosa vida de novela, su apasionante leyenda en el tiempo más brillante de la Edad Media.

Con la maestría narrativa que lo caracteriza, el catedrático de Historia Medieval y novelista José Luis Corral despliega ante los ojos del lector una fascinante historia de conquistas, rivalidades y pasiones que resulta imprescindible para comprender la configuración de la España contemporánea y rebatir, con el rigor del relato histórico impecablemente documentado, el mito independentista de la mal llamada «Corona catalano-aragonesa».
