Traidor, inconfeso y mártir
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Traidor, inconfeso y mártir (English: Treacherous, Unconfessed, and Martyr) is an 1849[1] Spanish three-act play by José Zorrilla, who also wrote Don Juan Tenorio. It is a historical drama in the Spanish Romantic style and is loosely based on a historical incident in which a Spanish baker, Gabriel de Espinosa, was prosecuted as an imposter for the missing King Sebastian of Portugal.[2][3]
The play's setting is less elaborate than that of many other plays written during the Romantic period, primarily because the author was interested in the character development of the protagonist Gabriel Espinoza.[4]
The play is set in Medina del Campo, a town in the Spanish province of Valladolid, and revolves around Gabriel Espinosa, an acclaimed pastry chef from the town of Madrigal.[5]
