Paul Newfield comments:
Apparently this play has to do with the legend of Santa Felicia who was
killed by her brother Guillen [read Duke William of Aquitaine, later
known as San Guillen]. In his remorse for having murdered his sister,
this Guillen (Duke William) went to Santiago then returned to Obanos
where he repented for the rest of his life. His skull is encased in
silver in the Church of San Juan Bautista (Photo in the Lozano "Guia",
1997 edition, p.65).
If this legend has any basis in fact, WHICH of the Dukes of Aquitaine
would this have been? And What would have been his years?
