Garcilaso de la Vega
Natural de Toledo, admiración de la Corte y la Campaña; Príncipe de los Poetas Castellanos; murió en la florida edad de 33 años de una herida recibida en un asalto en 1536.

Garcilaso de la Vega y Guzmán nació en Toledo el 30 de septiembre de 1499, según la más reciente hipótesis, y murió en Niza el 13 ó el 14 de octubre de 1536. Conformó el modelo cabal de caballero renacentista y su obra supuso para nuestra poesía la asimilación plena de la modernidad y la incorporación de las formas renacentistas italianas, siendo unánimemente reconocido como “el príncipe de los poetas en lengua castellana”.
Si encarnó el arquetipo de poeta-soldado no lo fue por propia voluntad sino por la fuerza de las circunstancias. Dentro de su armadura de maestre de campo y capitán él se describió como un “conducido mercenario” y sus versos están llenos del lamento de quien se sentía forzado a ser soldado.
Una primera circunstancia determinó su futuro: Nació segundón, en el seno de una familia de la mediana aristocracia castellana, y, al uso de la época, sus padres organizaron su destino orientándolo hacia el servicio del rey.
Su vida parecía abocada a brillar en una corte refinada como correspondía a la época del esplendor renacentista; pero sobre su existencia gravitará determinantemente la personalidad militarista e itinerante de Carlos V, menos humanista que soldado, que arrastró la biografía de nuestro poeta por los campos de batalla, persiguiendo un sueño de imperio al que Garcilaso terminará sacrificando su vida.

About the author

Garcilaso de la Vega (Toledo, c. 1501– Le Muy, Nice, France, October 14, 1536), was a Spanish soldier and poet. The prototypical "Renaissance man," he was the most influential (though not the first or the only) poet to introduce Italian Renaissance verse forms, poetic techniques and themes to Spain. His exact birth date is unknown, but estimations by scholars put his year of birth between 1498 and 1503.

Garcilaso was born in the Spanish city of Toledo. His father, Pedro Suárez de Figueroa, was a noble in the royal court of the Catholic Kings. His mother's name was Sancha de Guzmán. He had six brothers and sisters: Leanor, Pedro, Fernando, Francisco, Gonzalo, and Juana. Garcilaso was the second-oldest son which meant he did not receive the mayorazgo (entitlement) to his father's estate. However, he spent his younger years receiving an extensive education, mastered five languages (Spanish, Greek, Latin, Italian and French), and learned how to play the zither, lute and the harp. After his schooling, he joined the military in hopes of joining the royal guard. He was named "contino" (imperial guard) of King Carlos I (also Carlos V of the Holy Roman Empire) in 1520, and he was made a member of the Order of Santiago in 1523.

There were a few women in the life of this poet. His first lover was Guiomar Carrillo with whom he had an illegitimate child. He had another suspected lover named Isabel Freire, who was a lady-in-waiting of Isabel of Portugal. In 1525, Garcilaso married Elena de Zúñiga who served as a lady-in-waiting for the King's favorite sister, Leonor. Their marriage took place in Garcilaso's hometown of Toledo in one of the family's estates. He had six children: Lorenzo, an illegitimate child with Guiomar Carrillo, Garcilaso, Íñigo de Zúñiga, Pedro de Guzmán, Sancha, and Francisco.

Garcilaso's military career meant that he took part in the numerous battles and campaigns conducted by Carlos V across Europe. His duties took him to Italy, Germany, Tunisia and France. In 1532 for a short period he was exiled to a Danube island where he was the guest of the Baron György Cseszneky, royal court judge of Győr. Later in France, he would fight his last battle. The King desired to take control of Marseille and eventually control of the Mediterranean Sea, but this goal was never realized. Garcilaso de la Vega died on October 14, 1536 in Nice, France after suffering 25 days from an injury sustained in a battle at Le Muy. His body was first buried in the Church of Santo Domingo in Nice, but two years later his wife had his body moved to the Church of San Pedro Martir in Toledo.

¡Un reto literario! Leer la obra completa de este autor es complicado, pues el lenguaje del siglo XII no coopera. Sin embargo, todo vale la pena al llegar a los Sonetos. ❤
