		Alfonso the Wise (reigned 1252-84) probably had less wisdom on horseback than when seated in his palace at home.
		The first eleven tracks are devoted to tunes from the Cantigas di Santa Maria, planned by Alfonso as four hundred tributes to the Virgin in poetry, music and miniature painting.
		Alfonso provided a chair of music at the University of Salamanca; miniatures show him seated amid scribes and players of various instruments, certainly supervising the compilation.

	HOASM: Alfonso X ('El Sabio')
		Alfonso, though in many ways an unsatisfactory monarch, founded Spanish historiography in the vernacular and is sometimes called the father of Castilian prose.
		Guiraut Riquier, the last of the troubadours, is known to have spent some time at Alfonso's court.
		He was, however, by no means the first Provençal poet-musician to have been active in Spain: The Monk of Montaudan and Guiraut de Bornelh are among the troubadours who had been active there in earlier times.

	Chessays - Alfonso X "The Law of Gambling Houses and Chess : : El Ordenamiento de las Tafurerias : : M.C. Romeo (2005)
		Alfonso X, a monarch so enamoured of learning and books that history has christened him "The Wise King", had to concern himself first of all with the establishment of rules for gaming and the regulation of the complicated politics of his time.
		García Solalinde (a pupil of Ramón Menéndez Pidal and one of the major Alfonso X research scholars) has shown that the king intervened at two points in his work: the initial point, to design it and the end, to correct and conclude it.
		The names of the team of King AlfonsoÕs collaborators in Seville are not known, nor are other details of their personalities aside from what can be indirectly deduced or imagined from such a vigorous multicultural cooperative activity.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: El Cid
		Rodrigo having been sent by Alfonso to collect tribute from the king of Seville, Alfonso's vassal, he was accused on his return, by his enemies of having retained a part of it.
		But in time of necessity his assistance was sought by Alfonso, and in the midst of career of conquest he hastened to the latter's support when he was hard pressed by Yusuf, the founder of Morocco.
		Its theme is twofold, the adventures of the exiled Cid and the mythical marriage of his two daughters to the Counts of Carrion.

	MEDIEVAL SPANISH PROSE: FROM ORIGINS TO ALFONSO X THE WISE
		In order to keep a chronological order, we should look at versions of latin Histories that would be reworked by Alfonso X: the one by Lucas de Tuy (the tudense) (1236) or that by Jiménez de Rada (the toledan) (1244).
		This period will be used by king's wise men and by Prince's stepmother to defend or attack him.
		The History of Teodor Maiden has partially to do with this dialogue, though its structure is more complex: a wise woman shows her knowledge to a judge in wisdom.

	Dufay Collective: "Music for Alfonso the Wise" \| AccessAtlanta
		Blast from the past doesn't begin to describe the raucous, danceable, feral-sounding music of Alfonso el Sabio (the Wise).
		An enlightened ruler of the now-Spanish provinces of Castile and Leon in the 13th century, Alfonso attracted poets, scholars and musicians of Christian, Jewish and Islamic faiths.
		So while Codax's music is unrelated to Alfonso's court, it's possibly constructed in a similar style.
