Summary "Estudios históricos del reinado de Felipe II" by Cesáreo Fernández Duro is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into key events of the reign of Philip II of Spain, particularly focusing on military expeditions and their consequences. It likely examines significant occurrences, such as the disastrous campaign at Gelves, which is central to the opening segment, emphasizing the military failures and their broader implications. The opening of the work provides a detailed historical overview of the island of Gelves and the disastrous events surrounding the military expedition to capture it during the 16th century. It describes the preparations for the invasion, the eventual landing, and the subsequent chaos that ensued, highlighting the poor planning, leadership issues, and logistical failures faced by the Spanish forces. As the story unfolds, it details the harrowing experiences of soldiers, including D. Álvaro de Sande, who led the defense against overwhelming Turkish forces, ultimately leading to a significant and humiliating defeat for the Spanish crown. This portion serves as a critical foundation for understanding the military and political dynamics of the time, setting the stage for deeper explorations of the implications of such failures in Philip II’s reign.
