In this branch of the topic tree within this page of the Internatinet, I will present the reasons and the no-reasons about the anti-Spanish Black Legend, absurd in itself, which has become so putrid and destructive that even Spaniards themselves have come to believe it.

I’m not going to criticize anyone; we are all human, and throughout History, everyone has defended or attacked as best they could: (1) some with diplomacy and dialogue, and (2) others with violence and slander. I will use the first method.

Besides that, I will take the opportunity to (1) discuss details never before seen, under the title «Hispania, Mother and Refuge,» and (2) customs and curiosities of the Hispanic character.
