In this biography of the Valdes twins, Juan and Alfonso, Edward Boehmer captures the life of one of Italy’s preeminent reformers (Juan) and the long-time advisor of Emperor Charles V (Alfonso). These two brothers worked from both behind the scenes and on center stage inside the most powerful political institutions of the sixteenth-century. Boehmer’s work is essential reading for those studying the Valdes twin’s work and anyone who wants to understand the political nuances of the Inquisition and Reformation.
