	Álvaro de Luna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was born between 1388 and 1390 in the town of Cañete (Province of Cuenca, Spain), as the natural son of the Castilian noble don Alvaro Martínez de Luna, copero mayor (the page who poured drinks to a nobleman) of king Henry III of Castile.
		Alvaro was also a master of all the accomplishments the king admired: a fine horseman, skilful with a lance and a writer of court verse.
		In 1445 the faction of the nobles allied with Alvaro's main enemies, the Infantes de Aragon, were beaten at the Battle of Olmedo, and the favorite, who had been constable of Castile and count of Santesteban since 1423, became Grand Master of the military order of Santiago by election of the Knights.

	Lope de Barrientos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Barrientos' allegiance dilemma was solved when Álvaro de Luna returned from abroad, bringing with him the support of the diocese of Toledo, which had practically unlimited resources, and which had granted him their patronage at the behest of his half brother, Juan de Cerezuela.
		Upon the death of Álvaro de Luna in 1453, he was appointed Chancellor of Castile, thus becoming the preeminent political figure of the region under the King.
		Tratado de caso e fortuna ("Treatise on Prophesies"): Written at the request of John II of Castile while Barrientos was bishop of Cuenca, it is purely scholastic and discursive, with excessive reliance on Aristotelian teachings and little original material.

	Chapter 2: The Mendoza Family in the Spanish Renaissance 1350-1550 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The widowed Leonor de la Vega was thus left at the mercy of a woman she must have despised, and the two bereaved ladies fought so bitterly over the terms of the will that predatory relatives -- especially the Manrique -- found it convenient to usurp the far-flung estates of the Mendoza inheritance.
		The Mendoza's resistance to don Alvaro de Luna had pushed the king into an uncharacteristic act that conjured up all the violence of the pre-Trastámara kings, and the rest of his reign was characterized by a sort of stunned immobility on the part of both king and aristocracy.
		Amador de los Ríos believes that Santillana and Alba were educated together in the household of Gutierre Gómez de Toledo while the latter was archdeacon of Guadalajara and that Alba's presence at Santillana's deathbed is evidence of a lifelong friendship.

		Alvaro Hernandez is being tried on charges of aggravated assault on a sheriff and a city police.
		As a result of that beating, Alvaro won a civil rights lawsuit against the police and the county of Pecos-a county notorious for being anti-Mexican ever since the legendary judge Roy Bean's "law west of the Pecos", a colonial judicial system designed to "legalize" land thefts and lynching of Mexicanos by gringo colonial settlers.
		The authorities fear Alvaro because he is not afraid of them, nor their threats, because of his sharp legal skills, and because he's an articulate spokesperson fro prisoners' rights and Chicano liberation.
