Vol. 07 (of 15), Spanish" by Charles Morris is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume collects various romanticized stories from Spanish history, unfolding tales of legendary figures and significant events that shaped the cultural and political landscape of Spain. The opening portion introduces characters such as Good King Wamba, a humble farmer turned king, and delves into the complexities of leadership, morality, and the socio-political environment of Gothic Spain. At the start of the text, the tale of Good King Wamba unfolds, who is chosen to lead after King Recesuinto's death. Initially resistant to the idea of ruling, Wamba is compelled to accept the crown by a miraculous event and soon proves to be a just and benevolent leader, known for both his wisdom and mercy despite facing numerous challenges. The narrative captures Wamba's remarkable reign, illustrating his decisive actions against conspiracies and his unyielding principles, as well as setting the stage for the darker events of betrayal that follow, demonstrating the tenuous balance between virtue and treachery in leadership.
