Klappentext zu „The Baker Who Pretended to Be King of Portugal “
On August 4, 1578, in an ill-conceived attempt to wrest Morocco back from the hands of the infidel Moors, King Sebastian of Portugal led his troops to slaughter and was himself slain. Sixteen years later, King Sebastian rose again. The author recalls this conspiracy, marked both by scheming and absurdity, and the legal inquest that followed.

Rezension zu „The Baker Who Pretended to Be King of Portugal “
"Ruth MacKay draws upon a wealth of new materials culled from various archives, both Spanish and Portuguese, together with an array of printed primary sources-chronicles, spiritual treatises, ambassadorial reports, etc.-to offer new insights into the gripping tale of the pastelero de Madrigal. Her account of the young King Sebastian and his 1578 death in Morocco at the fabled 'Battle of the Three Kings' is by far the best I have ever read. The Baker Who Pretended to Be King of Portugal is beautifully crafted and a true delight to read." -Richard L. Kagan, Johns Hopkins University"
