Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Spanish Christian Monks, Asensio Nebot "The Friar," Juan Perez, Wifred Ii of Cerdanya, Toms de Santa Mara, Oliba Cabreta, Pedro Ponce de Len, Jos de Sigenza, Bernard of Valdeiglesias, Antonio Fabr Y Almers. Excerpt: Asensio Nebot "The Friar," born in Nules, Spain in 1779, was the most important guerrillero in the Kingdom of Valencia during the Peninsular War but he has not received the recognition that he deserves. Unfortunately no one wrote his biography in the 19th century when it would perhaps have been possible to record more information about his life. His exploits during the Peninsular War are well documented but, as he worked as a secret agent after the end of the war, there are gaps in what is known about his life from 1815 onwards. The most reliable account of Nebot's life during the Peninsular War is Manuel Ardit Lucas' Revolucin liberal y revuelta campesina where the information is based on contemporary documents. The archivist of Nules, Vicent Felip Sempere, in the first volume of his history of Nules gives Nebot's full name as Ascensio Miguel Joseph Nebot Clofente and his date of birth as 30 September 1779 with other details taken from the Parish Register plus a very brief summary, two pages, of his life that does not add anything to what Ardit had written 23 years earlier. In Como lobos hambrientos. Los guerrilleros en la Guerra de la Independencia (1808-1814) Fernando Martnez Lanez devotes six pages to Nebot and gives one or two incidents not mentioned by Ardit. An advantage of Martnez Lanez's book is that all the information about the Friar is one place; he quotes his source as the Aula Militar Bermdez de Castro. Liberty or Death The Life and Times of Asensio Nebot by Charles M. Wilson 4 is described as ... More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=25768931
