[Year of first publication] 1609 [Character(s)] Rahel la Fermosa [Work] Jerusalén conquistada (Jerusalem Conquered) [Creator] Lope de Vega [Country of publication] Spain [Details] In his faux historical narrative poem, Lope de Vega presents the character of Rahel la Fermosa (Rachel the beautiful) who has an affair with Alfonso VIII of Castile, before she is murdered by his courtiers as a threat to the emerging kingdom. The historicity of the "The Jewess of Toledo", as Rahel is known, has been debated[18] while the character has been recreated in numerous works, including the play The Jewess of Toledo (1851) by Franz Grillparzer, the silent film The Jewess of Toledo (1919) directed by Otto Kreisler, and the novel Die Jüdin von Toledo (1955) novel by Lion Feuchtwanger.
