| biography:
| Poet, born in Villasandino, Burgos, NC Spain. A poet at the courts of Henry (Enrique) II and John (Juan) I of Castile, he wrote on amatory, mercenary, and religious subjects. Known for his clever satire, his technical skill is often evident in an uneven body of verse. His early work was in Galician, but he later wrote in Castilian. |
