Jo, El Rei
The Trastàmara Inheritance



Note: For the sake of clarity and accuracy, all persons are referred to by their names in the original language of their birth and native land; thus the French “Charles” and not “Carlos” or “Karl” and the Catalan “Ferran” and not “Fernando” or “Ferdinand”. Further, institutions and non-sovereign, secular titles will also be referred to by their native names to add an element of realism to the linguistic situation of Early Modern Europe, though cities will remain in English to avoid confusion. Thus, we have the Cortz in Aragon, Corts in Catalonia and Valencia and Cortes in Castile and Portugal—though it should be noted that the language used by the Aragonese court Catalan, while the Cancelleria Reial used both Aragonese and Catalan.
