Alfonso X of Castile, also known as Alfonso the Wise, was a visionary ruler who left a lasting impact on medieval Spain. As king from 1252 to 1284, he was a patron of the arts and sciences, commissioning works that would later become foundational texts in various fields. His interest in astronomy led to the creation of the Alfonsine Tables, which were used for centuries by astronomers around the world. Alfonso's commitment to education and culture earned him the title of "the Wise," and his reign is remembered as a time of great intellectual flourishing in Castile. Despite facing political challenges and conflicts with neighboring kingdoms, Alfonso remained dedicated to advancing knowledge and promoting learning throughout his realm. Today, he is celebrated as one of Spain's most enlightened monarchs, whose legacy continues to inspire scholars and artists alike.
