Agustín de Rojas Villandrando
Agustín de Rojas Villandrando (August 1572 - c. 1618) was a Spanish writer and actor.
Early years[]
Rojas Villandrando was born in Madrid. He served as a soldier in France and was a prisoner in La Rochelle.[1] He was persecuted in Italy for killing a man in Malaga and he took refuge in the temple of San Juan. He bought his freedom with three hundred ducats. He then lived in a number of cities in Spain including Sevilla and Granada.[2]
Work[]
He was known for his loas. His work El buen republico was banned by the Inquisition because it dealt with astrology and the author was suspected of being Jewish.[3]
Death[]
Rojas Villandrando died in Paredes de Nava sometimes before 1635 since his wife, Ana de Arceo whom he married in 1603, was already called a widow in 1635. His last known correspondence was in 1618.[4]
