Abstract

Due to propagandistic reasons, as was common in Italy, the history of this period is mainly written in Latin; first, through the Italian Humanists that came to the court of the Catholic Monarches (Mártir de Anglería, Marineo Sículo) and of Don Juan II and Don Manuel (Cataldo Parisio Sículo); later on, by means of national humanists who enjoyed a great reputation in Europe (Nebrija, Góis, Resende, Jerónimo Osorio). Spain and Portugal, with the excuse of propagating the Catholic faith, spread their imperialism just as Rome had done before, that is, by resorting to mythological origins and the need to end up with barbarity.
