Juan Pedro Cosano discusses historical novel about Philip II

Author Juan Pedro Cosano discusses his historical novel, 'Conjura contra el rey Felipe', which is set in the 16th century during the reign of King Philip II. The book explores political intrigue, rivalries, and anonymous denunciations.

Cosano notes that approximately 80 percent of the names in the plot are real historical figures, including King Philip II, Juan de Austria, the Princess of Éboli, Antonio Pérez, the third Duke of Alba, and Inquisitor General Gaspar de Quiroga. He balances these real figures with fictional characters, such as the jurist Cristóbal Villafañe, to drive the narrative.
