ALFONSO X,
known as el sabio or "The Wise," is in a sense
the father of all Spanish literature. He was not a successful
ruler, but he is famous for his codes, chronicles, and didactic
collections. The principal work for which he is famous is the
Cantigas de Santa María, in the dialect of the
Galician troubadours.
