Author Costain lays on the local color thick—duels, tortures, trials, Valerie rising naked from her bath, and plenty of antique dressmaking chatter.
As lavish with his color, Author Shellabarger is much the subtler hand with characters and story—though in this field "subtle" is strictly a comparative term.

 Captain from Castile Summary / Study Guide
Characterization in a Shellabarger novel, especially in Captain from Castile, is superficial and secondary to plot and action.
He moves through a fast succession of scenes — from imprisonment in the dungeons of the Inquisition to the invasion and conquest of Mexico to intrigues in the court of Emperor Charles V — leaving him little time to reflect on the consequences of his actions.
Manly and noble, Pedro is also ingenuous, unlike later Shellabarger heroes.

I can't wait to read the translation (whenever that comes out) but apparently it's the conclusion of a trilogy.
It was while trying to find the names of the first two novels (it seems that perhaps The Companions of Jéhu is the first one)that I came across Shellabarger, who wrote in the 1940's and '50's.
I'll write more, but so far it looks very promising, and there are at least three more novels by this person.

 Prince of Foxes | MTV MOVIES   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Filmed entirely on location in Italy, Prince of Foxes is a cinemadaptation of Samuel Shellabarger's popular novel.
Set during the Renaissance, the film stars Tyrone Power as Orsini, a good-will ambassador for scheming, covetous Cesare Borgia (Orson Welles).
Because of contractual and budgetary restrictions, Prince of Foxes had to be filmed in fl-and-white, which is a shame; if ever a film cried out for Technicolor, it is this one (20th Century-Fox soon rectified this artistic gaffe with its full-color, location-filmed The Black Rose [1950], which also starred Tyrone Power and Orson Welles).
