Sample text

En qualquier manera o por qualqujer causa que venga la muerte corporal, non debe aver enojo njn se deue turbar njn aver mjedo alguno, mas de grado, voluntariosamente e con todo el juyzio de la razón [. . ] rresçiba la muerte, e con mucha pasçiençia, conformando su voluntad de todo en todo con la voluntad de Dios. E así bien e seguramente podrá morir. (Arte ‘N’ 1990: 151) Unfortunately for the dying, this patience and endurance were not easily achieved. Although some died with relatively little physical pain, for others it was a slow and agonizing process, as in the case of Enrique IV: dióle un tan grand dolor de costado, y tan agudo que ningún reposo ni sosiego le dexaba tener; en tanto grado, que siempre le fue cresciendo, e nunca menguando, e duróle aquel dolor por espacio de diez horas.

In the miracle the previously avaricious Estevan dies in sin and is in great danger of having his soul dragged off to everlasting torment in Hell. Thanks to the intervention of the Virgin Mary and several saints he is returned to earth and given a second chance of dying well. This time he rights all the wrongs he has done in his life (an essential part of the making of a last will and testament, as we shall see), receives the last rites, and takes to his bed, praying right up to the last moment: Entregó ricamientre a los deseredados, a los qe tuerto tovo fízolos bien pagados, confessóse al preste de todos sos peccados, de quantos avié fechos e dichos e asmados.

According to Bejarano Rubio, ‘La encomendación del alma se suele hacer a Nuestro Redentor Jesucristo, al que se le reconoce su acto creador y redentor’ (1990: 37). 4 According to P. Fernando Rubio the dedication of the Jardín de nobles donzellas to the future Catholic Monarch, Isabel, was written between the death of her brother in July 1468 and her marriage to Fernando in October 1469 (Prosistas castellanos 1964: xxx).
