	Aguilar - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		AGUILAR, or Aguilar De La Frontera, a town of southern Spain, in the province of Cordova; near the small river Cabra, and on the Cordova - Malaga railway.
		Aguilar "of the Frontier" was so named in the middle ages from its position on the border of the Moorish territories, which were defended by the castle of Anzur, now a ruin; but the spacious squares and modern houses of the existing town retain few vestiges of Moorish dominion.
		The olives and white wine of Aguilar are celebrated in Spain, although the wine, which somewhat resembles sherry, is known as Montilla, from the adjacent town of that name.

	Grace Aguilar
		Grace Aguilar was born of Spanish-Jewish parents at The Paragon, Hackney, London, on June 2, 1816.

	Grace Aguilar
		In person, Grace Aguilar was tall and slight; her manner gentle and persuasive; but when she spoke, she was remarkably earnest; and when she became excited, her full dark eyes were dazzling in their brightness.
		She was deeply read in the history of her people; perfectly heroic in their defence, but without a single taint of bitterness towards the ‘Christian.’ Her family found refuge in England from the persecutions in Portugal, and to England she was fervently attached.
		“Grace was by no means rich when she so acted; many would call her poor; but she had always something to bestow, and the manner of the gift doubled the charity.
