For this show, I am joined by Dr. Alexandra Wilhelmsen (with whom I previously discussed the Spanish Carlists). Our subject is Saint Ferdinand III, the Crusader and liberator of Catholic Spain, who united the two Iberian Kingdoms of Leon and Castile, ruling — after his successful Reconquista — a territory roughly two-thirds the size of present-day Spain.
Included in our discussion are the Saint’s Marian piety, his chivalrous rule, his amazing conquests of Seville, Cordoba, Jaen, and other cities, and his practice of heroic Christian virtue in the midst of conflict, including terrible family conflict.

Brother Andre, great show! I knew nothing about St. Ferdinand before listening. Do you or your guest happen to have a good recommendation of a biography that I could read?
Gob bless!
Thank you, Brady A. I did not ask Dr. Wilhelmsen for such a recommendation. My guess is that her favorites are all in Spanish. I am aware of this translation that is put out by the American TFP. It is highly regarded:
The Life of the Very Noble King of Castile and Leon, St Ferdinand III
(The book title is a link to Amazon.com.)
God bless and Mary keep you.
