"El conde de Candespina" by Escosura is a historical novel written during the early 19th century. The story unfolds in a tumultuous period of the 12th century, exploring the intricate political and romantic entanglements surrounding Doña Urraca, the queen of Castilla, who finds herself imprisoned by her husband, Alfonso of Aragón. The narrative centers on Don Gómez Salvadórez, the heroic Conde de Candespina, who embodies the ideals of chivalry and loyalty as he embarks on a perilous mission to rescue the queen from captivity. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the despairing queen, Doña Urraca, as she laments her captivity in the castle of Castellar, where she feels abandoned by her loyal subjects. Her faithful lady-in-waiting, Leonor, attempts to comfort her and believes that there could still be a loyal knight who will rescue her. We also learn of the deep feelings Don Gómez harbors for the queen and the plans brewing amongst the nobles to unite Castilla by marrying her to him. As the action progresses, Don Gómez decides to take matters into his own hands, rallying a small band of loyal followers to infiltrate the castle and effect Doña Urraca's escape, setting the stage for a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and valor that lies ahead.
