	Fernando �lvarez de Toledo, Duke of Alva - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus Alva by his cruelty became the unwitting instrument of the future independence of the seven Dutch provinces.
		On his return he was treated for some time with great distinction by Philip, till a love affair of Don Frederick dragged father and son into disgrace.
		Portugal determined Philip to turn his eyes towards Alva as the person in whose fidelity and abilities he could most confide.

	- Chapter 30
		On that occasion, the Spanish commander, Don Fadrique de Toledo—the duke of Alva's son, in spirit as well as flesh—had frittered away his strength by attacking northern Holland.
		Alva intended to simply terrorize the Netherlands into submission to the Spanish crown, and he set about it with a vengeance.
		Alva set the pattern and never wavered from it.

		Both chiefs led forth their troops-- those of the duke in fresh and brilliant armor, richly ornamented, and as yet uninjured by the service of the field; those of the count were weatherbeaten veterans, whose armor was dented and hacked in many a hard-fought battle.
		When all was ready the duke del Infantado demanded the attack: it was his first campaign, and he was anxious to disprove the royal insinuation made against the hardihood of his embroidered chivalry.
		The count de Cabra and his brother Don Martin de Cordova pressed forward with eagerness against them, but, having advanced too precipitately, were surrounded by the foe and in imminent danger.

	Chronicle of the Conquest of Granada by Washington Irving : Arthur's Classic Novels
		At length Ortega de Prado succeeded in throwing open a postern through which the marques of Cadiz, the adelantado of Andalusia, and Don Diego de Merlo entered with a host of followers, and the citadel remained in full possession of the Christians.
		De Vera drew it, and smiled grimly as he noticed the admirable temper of the blade.
		This was Don Alonso de Cordova, senior and lord of the house of Aguilar, and brother of Gonsalvo of Cordova, afterward renowned as grand captain of Spain.

	The Dutch Privateers: Sea Beggars
		When he arrived at Bahia he was confronted by the fleet of Don Fadrique de Toledo who had recaptured Bahia on April 30 of 1625.

		Through marriage, war, and political maneuvering, most of the region comprising the present-day Netherlands--Holland, Utrecht, Noord-Brabant, and Gelderland--came into the hands of the dukes of Burgundy during the 15th and early 16th centuries.

	The Letters of St. Teresa.
		It was my intention to have given in this Preface a short biographical sketch of the lives of Balthasar Alvarez, Luis de Granada, Pedro Ibañez, Domingo Bañez, Señora Doña Luisa de la Cerda, Señor Don Alonso Velasquez, Bishop of Osma, Señora Guiomar de Ulloa, Lorenzo de Cepeda, and others.
		It is now some time since I received a letter from my Father Baltasar Alvarez; neither have I written to him, not, however, through any desire of mortification, for I never profited by his advice as I ought to have done.
		It is as if some one had, by a legal deed, settled a great estate upon another, so that he should have possession of it after a certain period, and receive the rents; but till then, he was to enjoy only the reversion then made over to him.

		To meet this pressure, the Spanish sovereigns reinforced the frontier with additional levies under Juan de Benavides and Garcilasso de la Vega; while Christian knights, whose prowess is attested in many a Moorish lay, flocked there from all quarters, as to the theatre of war.

	PERO TAFUR
		Each year a Duke is sent as governor, and since, not long ago, the islanders rose against the Venetians, who had to send and recapture the place, an ordinance was issued that in a certain part of the island nothing should be sown, nor should the cattle be allowed to multiply.
		I saw the chapel and grave, now very richly adorned, but formerly much neglected, and round about are sculptured and painted the arms of Guzman, which that good knight, Don Luis de Guzman, Master of Calatrava, had ordered to be set up.
		So he ordered everything, and the next day after Mass each one went to his station.

	the title
		The Duchess Alvarez, though fond of Dolores, was Mistress of the Robes to the young Queen, and it was not to be hoped nor expected that she should risk the danger of utter ruin and disgrace if it were discovered that she had hidden the girl against the King's wishes.
		Maria Dolores de Mendoza knew all of fear for the man she loved, that any woman could know, and much of the hope that is love's early life; but she knew neither the grief, nor the disappointment, nor the shame for another, nor for herself, nor any of the bitterness that love may bring.
		There were roses there, growing almost wild in great earthen jars, where some Moorish woman had planted them in older days, and Dolores could go there unseen with her blind sister, who helped her faithfully, on pretence of taking the poor girl thither to breathe the sweet quiet air.
