“The Reverse Side of History”: The Conspiracy of the Barefoot Women at El Corte Inglés Preciados-Callao
- Date: At march 25
- Schedule: from 19:30 to 21:00
In the March session of *The Other Side of History*, Miguel Zorita guides us through one of the most surprising episodes in court politics: the Conspiracy of the Descalzas.
The haven of peace that the Monastery of the Descalzas Reales is today was, centuries ago, the epicentre of a series of political manoeuvres with international implications.
Treating its protagonists as mere nuns obscures their influence in politics. What power did the mothers, widows, sisters and daughters of Europe’s great kings and emperors wield from the shadows?
Join us to discover how some of these nuns became intermediaries, confidantes and strategic pawns on a political chessboard rife with secrets, alliances and betrayals.
- Wednesday 25 March at 7.30 pm
