COSSIO OLAVIDE, Mario. Una reescritura aristocrática de la Estoria de España. La Crónica abreviada de don Juan Manuel. Olivar [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.34, e105. ISSN 1852-4478.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/18524478e105.

Although scholars often consider Juan Manuel’s Crónica abreviada to be a mere summary or index of the Estoria de España, its contents suggest that it can be better characterized as a reaction to Alfonso X’s ideology. In this article, I study the effect of the chronicle’s abbreviatio on the narration of events taken from Alfonsine and post-Alfonsine historiography. My purpose is to show that this rewriting of “history” reorients the historiographical discourse to emphasize the moral decadence of kings, transform the nobility into a force of political control, and posit heroic figures of the aristocracy as models of a new seigneurial ethics.
