«La reina comunera» is the historical novel by José García Abad, published by Esfera in hardback (359 pages, in Spanish).
In the midst of the Revolt of the Comuneros of Castile, the cities rise against Charles I, whom they refuse to recognise as legitimate king; two chroniclers, Jaime de Garcillán and Alonso de Torrelaguna, are tasked with securing the support of Joanna I of Castile, imprisoned in Tordesillas, to end the reign of her son. The novel follows their dangerous negotiations and the internal struggles that end with the comunero leaders on the scaffold.
The cover bears the subtitle «Juana la Loca y la revuelta de los comuneros: la historia que pudo ser». The chroniclers Jaime de Garcillán and Alonso de Torrelaguna also appear in «Sobra un rey».
For readers of historical fiction who want to approach the War of the Communities and the figure of Joanna the Mad.
