About this book
The Story of Seville is by Walter M. Gallichan. The preface says the author has endeavoured to interest the reader in the associations of the buildings and the thoroughfares of the city, and does not claim to have written a full history of Seville. The text names, among other rulers, Amalaric, the first of the Gothic monarchs who sat on the throne in Seville, said to have reigned probably from about the year 522, and Theudis, who ruled in Seville (531 to 548).
Saint Isidore (San Isidoro) is called the most influential bishop of his day, who held office in Seville, and his brothers, Leander and Fulgentius, are said to be prelates too. Carlos IV is said to have instructed his Prime Minister to inform the heads of universities that what His Majesty wanted was not philosophers, but loyal subjects. The tournament with bulls is said to have been introduced into Andalusia by the Moors.
