EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "MS Hunter 242 f. 249v Philip II seated on horseback, wearing the order of the Golden Fleece" showcases a remarkable illustration from Historia de Tlaxcala by Diego Munoz Camargo. This 16th-century Mexican School artwork, found in Glasgow University Library, Scotland, delves into the rich religious, cultural, and military history of the Tlaxcaltec people after their conquest. In this particular image, we witness King Philip II of Spain astride his majestic horse while adorned with the prestigious Order of the Golden Fleece. Surrounded by loyal men-at-arms and guards bearing spears as symbols of power and protection, Philip II exudes authority and regality. This portrayal reflects both Spanish influence and Christianization within Central America during that era. It serves as a testament to the conversion efforts carried out by missionaries sent from Castile to spread Christianity across Mesoamerica. Philip II's presence in this historical narrative highlights his role as King of Castile during a time when Spain was actively engaged in exploration and colonization endeavors throughout North and South America. The conquistadors' courtiers played significant roles in shaping Mexico's destiny under Spanish rule. Through this visually striking portrait capturing an important moment in history, we are reminded of the complex dynamics between Europe and Latin America during colonial times—a fusion of cultures that forever altered both continents' destinies.
