Prescott is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the intricacies of the political landscape during the reigns of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, focusing particularly on their foreign policies and military endeavors, including significant events such as the Italian Wars and the partition of Naples. The opening of the volume provides a detailed exploration of the shifting alliances and ambitions that characterized the early 16th-century political scene in Europe, particularly the machinations of Louis XII of France and the response of the Spanish court. It outlines the critical decisions made by Ferdinand in the face of French aggression and discusses key figures, such as Gonsalvo de Cordova, known as the Great Captain, who is charged with leading military campaigns in Italy. The narrative not only sets the stage for the ensuing conflicts but also highlights the underlying themes of ambition, betrayal, and the challenges of governance during a tumultuous period in European history.
