On Monday I was watching to see the premiere of Antena 3, Hispania, without much faith that I had just like it.
did not see much over half an hour, shortly after the slaughter that deliver the Lusitanian their weapons. Could not stand to see more, frankly, I did not like, for mistakes and things that squeak when he saw her and other things I'd rather not dwell on cite.
Well, what the hell? tonight I've been seeing a bit (the second chapter), I put up something else, but because I said to myself "think of it as fantasy and not historical fiction, but reached a point I have not put up with, is that even being of fantasy I would have liked, because I think the players have given their best for the tiresome use of A3 to put boys and girls 'fashionable' to attract more public, that the Lusitanian only have the name of Lusitanian Viriato and Cesar (if Paulo is Latin, Persian name Dario Alexander is Greek, Theodoro more of the same) (do not have a hard time naming Iberians, Celts, tartésicos etc ... are not rare that it could be a name of elf or orc) and most things you'd rather not waste time citing as many appear in the criticisms I have seen on the internet about this series and I usually agree with them, but. ...
..... prefer a deep breath and say, "Do not fret, it's fiction." Maybe the next time you can see a little bit like it.
often disgust Anda televisions pending the hearing, both T5 and A3 are matched its series, the princes and Hispania, and both yesterday and today as children were proclaiming that his series had gained an audience with the other (A3 said that he had Hispania won, T5 said he had won his) ... anyway ....
------
As I was saying at first. On Monday, after leaving to see the show, I started to do something more happy and fun, draw a cartoon. And this is what I drew, has something to do with the series, as a simple criticism without malice.

comic:
falcata I say is "neologism" I have understood it as coming from "falchion" and "spatha" and not used in ancient times to designate the sword although "falcatus" is a Latin term which refers to the shape of things sickle, maybe I'm wrong. Ras
! signario is Turdetans.
tyrophatina The Roman custard or do not know how they are, so I put some current. ;)
Finally, we see the positive, the question is a laugh, (although not very funny comic. Lol). Can I see it could be more comic currado?, Surely ...
Maybe I have inadvertently created two bichillos that could be another dog of Hades Pushpin. Hehe.
Bridge Building Columbus Day, and since it was in the village of my mother, I was on a visit to the nearby fortified castle and the village of Moya.
(The castle comes in a cover image of this blog).
Moya is a municipality belonging to the province of Cuenca, Castilla La Mancha, Spain. It consists of four hamlets, orchards Moya, Pedro Izquierdo, Santo Domingo de Moya (where the town hall) and El Arrabal Moya, which is situated at the foot of the hill on which is amesetado Villa and Castillo de Moya (uninhabited since the mid-twentieth century).
been years since I was expressly to visit the Villa and Castle, his condition was ruined though by then (to make 5 or 6 years) were beginning to restore some parts of the whole . Today, it is still standing (functional), the Church of Santa Maria and the City, there are also restored parts (doors of the wall of the Villa, the door of the castle walls ...), others in process restoration, and so many others continue to ruined because the set is very broad.
As part of that restoration and enhancement, interpretive signs have been placed at points of interest within the enclosure and wooden fence to serve as a route to visitors while protecting the debris.
Reportedly the area (and for years I've been listening), the castle is owned by the Duchess of Alba, but in turn also said that his property was transferred to a public body (do not know if a ministry, the Junta de Castilla la Mancha, the council of Cuenca or whoever).
And like any Castillo far as I know this comes mainly from oral memory or any information you have read somewhere, and no mistake giving vague aspects in the following I will "copy" literally one of the posters explaining the relevant information set (do not know if you need permission or not include such information), since it is much more precise than any that can give me.
A little information if any of our readers would like to visit friends. Moya
road is 104 km from Cuenca, about 60-70 km. of 134-137 km from Teruel and Valencia. I
I leave a map. And if not, search Google Maps. ;)
Landete
's above, marked with a green circle.
And now I show you photos and information. I can not give the whole set because, oh! Bad luck, no more battery in the camera and let me shoot a lot, anyway, if you've already boasts a second part with the remaining information, as to go with either company could take me almost time to visit things.
At the entrance to the exhibition is the first poster for information. It is to these images.
Note the map of the Villa de Moya, with a route marked for the sights and attractions.
On the other side of the poster:
On the left two drawings of pottery pieces profile photo of the interior, both are tile. On the right the image of Don Andres Cabrera and Beatriz de Bobadilla, first Marquis of Moya.
And then the following information. Quote:
"The village of Moya was declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1982, sits on a hill with an approximate area of \u200b\u200b140,000 m2, which gives it visibility strategic position. The first traces of occupation dating from the Bronze Age and Iron Age fort must have been an important Iberian as deduced from the findings ceramics. In 1176 the Moors quoted Moya along with Alarcon Basin and entered the lands of Uclés, which was of the Order of Santiago. However, the archaeological evidence of a fortified settlement hisn-Arab medina, or city-on Moya are very frugal when (poor).
Until 1183 there is a determined attempt to repopulate the land, one of the archdeaconry Condec Basin by Bishop Janes. In 1210, King Alfonso VIII granted immunity to village, leading to the breaking of the truce with the Almohads. The ensuing battle will be settled favorably to the Christian side in the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa.
In the courts of Valladolid of 1351 Moya was mentioned as "Puerto Seco", ie the site boundary where breast all the goods from the Realms of Aragon and Valencia, which explains the richness and importance This villa purchased in the late Middle Ages. Therefore, it was coveted by Don Juan Pacheco, the Marquis de Villena, "that laid siege in 1451 with little luck. It was confirmed in 1475 to Don Andres de Cabrera, the husband of Doña Beatriz de Bobadilla, waitress Isabel la Católica. Five years after the village and its lands promoted to the rank of Marquis.
late sixteenth century, the medieval urban landscape is transformed into the English convent city property to build the building of the concepts and almost all the reformed churches. Definitely be abolished in the 50 century XX. "
Following a little later there is a poster with a map of the town with timing of construction phases. It is to the next photo (something wrong done by me).
doing I ate the wrong picture of the information, so I will detail the construction phases if not to find good photography.
in red: First enclosure or Albacara . From 1183.
In green: Second precinct. From 1213.
In blue: Third precinct. Built in the S. XIV as evidence Teruel ceramic pottery.
in black: Fourth enclosure or car doors and Campus Customs.
In Pink: Fifth Coracha enclosure. (This I've eaten something in the photo. It has a square tower.)
in yellow : Works of Don Andres de Cabrera.
In brown: Puerta de la Villa. ------------------------------
But instead of following the route marked on the map, I another and enter through the door of San Juan.
Photo
door of John (second compound wall.)
At the foot of which took this photo. While the parties differ restored. In the background the church of San Bartolomé.
--------
Hence I went to the Castle.
where he found his feet the following information shown in these pictures. Quote:
barrage.
"falsasbragas or barriers that begin to proliferate in the second half of S. XV, are the direct consequence of adapting the traditional medieval Poliorcetes new media storming gunners. To be complicated pieces of fire to raise the lofty towers and halls of the castle, we decided to build these antermurales perimeter where they would stay the camera shot, and protect them from a normally dry ditch excavated in the natural rock.
Castle Moya has two barriers, a deck looking into the Albacara and housing the main entrance. Rather than to protect themselves from external threats, such barriers were designed in response to violence against the nobility which proliferated during this period. An armed revolt by the population of the town could at a stroke depriving the Marquis of his most prized possession, so it is conceived that this could be reduced by the cannons to keep them at bay, while taking measures to restore order.
The entrance to the barrier was protected by battlements and a bridge drawbridge, towers were decorated with blind arches, and apart from its pockets are notable for the existence of firearms espingarderas laptop. In the barrier which faces the Albacara be seen firing systems that show the influence of Poliorcetes system that was then being built in the royal castle of Media del Campo (Valladolid). "
And a detail photo to look better as was the wall in the early twentieth century.
Here photos from the door of the castle wall.
The main tower, is currently Tower closed because it came out a crack, and although the views from above are worthwhile, it is best to be closed because it is in danger and thus avoid a further deterioration of the interior which in itself is damaged by graffiti today.

Photos from a hole in the wall:
Another photo of the area Albacara behind the castle (first room).
picture from the door where you see the Villa.
After this. Driver! The camera battery ran out.
In case you want to know more and see more photos:
that with this link I could have saved the blog post, since they are dedicated people in body and soul for the preservation and study of Moya, only that the site has parts that are "under construction", but once completed will have everything you want to know. I have only to thank the great work they are doing.
PD1: October 3 Sunday I went to see a new edition of Living History, which organizes Military Museum of Valencia, warned by Isuldurio (thanks;)) since the Aliger attending Ferrum. I'm aware that the friend with whom I spend my photos to hang (the photos were made with mobile, hence it takes.: S)
PD2: This Saturday, October 16 evening in the Sixth made a documentary about weapons and armor ... bufff ... Creepy!. I did not like anything, but horror!. Was American, and you know how are minimally related documentaries in U.S. history ... with much to be desired (a few are saved.)
To summarize, this was a meeting of "experts" (quoting countless times) style arms weapons testers CoolSteel (or whatever they are called, yes, those who cut pigs, boards and caught everything to prove how tough are the swords that make for self-defense) that debates about what weapons were better, if a gentleman of the fifteenth century (yes, yes, how wide is the century) or a pirate, and which one would win a hypothetical fight. "Dude, your hacker has nothing to do against my knight in armor." Hahahaha.
I was already in tatters ... hehehehe. Sure! Taking historical accuracy!, Where is the historical context behind each type of soldier? hahaha, something worthy of little or no historical basis.
such locurón partly forgive the cliché that says U.S. arms love.
jejejeejejejeje
the end if there was a hypothetical reconstruction of the battle, and worst of all, he lost the knight. XD.
Sparragos Jack reminded me that appeared in the medieval Teruel (except that instead of the thirteenth century, the knight was XV). Hahaha. What folly!
