The Troubadour King, Alfonso X (King of Castille and Lord of the Holy Roman Empire), composed songs for the Virgin Mary. “And that which I seek is to praise the Virgin, Mother of our Lord, Holy Mary, the most wondrous of His creations. Therefore I wish, from this day forth to be Her troubadour, and I pray that She will have me for Her troubadour and accept my songs, for through them I seek to reveal the miracles She performed.
