During Henry IV of Castiles rule, official chronicles and literary pamphlets mount a concerted attack on his authority based on his affinities with non-Christian Others. His promotion of conversos and Muslisms in the Court was seen as an inversion of the social order that his enemies codified through explicit allusions to the kings inverted sexuality. Through a devastating discursive attack, Isabellas ascension to the throne was paved, and the subsequent re-imagination of a Spain intolerant of the non-Christian Other. KEYWORDS: Henry IV, Castile, Christians, Muslims, Spain
