Pedro de Mont\u00e1nchez, es hijo adoptivo de un noble de la provincia de Zamora. Su vida transcurre entre laudes, estudios y preparaci\u00f3n para ser un caballero del Rey. Desde que era un ni\u00f1o ama a Iberia. La hija del maestro curtidor de Toro es una joven de una belleza extraordinaria que vive enamorada de Pedro, con quien se promete. La felicidad de ambos se ve oscurecida ante la aparici\u00f3n en escena de un triunvirato de nobles que pretenden quedarse con la fortuna del padre de Pedro. Acusado de \u201csangre sucia\u201d o \u201cenga\u00f1o a la Iglesia\u201d, Pedro es detenido, torturado y desterrado del Reino de Le\u00f3n, mientras Iberia es arrestada y violentada, para ser vendida por un exea (gu\u00eda de caravanas) en un mercado de esclavos. El tiempo y la suerte ponen en el camino de Pedro a don Gonzalo, un m\u00e9dico muy apreciado en la Corte y a su hijo, Martin. Con \u00e9ste \u00faltimo, Pedro se hermana y juntos deciden probar fortuna en la Frontera, despu\u00e9s de hacerse con un valioso tesoro. Sus haza\u00f1as pronto ser\u00e1n conocidas por muchos capitanes y ej\u00e9rcitos cristianos. Su fama le precede y consigue ser la atenci\u00f3n del Legado Papal y del Pr\u00edncipe Alfonso el d\u00e9cimo. Son estos personajes los que le ayudan a llevar a cabo el plan para recuperar su honor, su nombre y su fortuna. Pedro y sus compa\u00f1eros de armas, traman dejar en evidencia a los enemigos de la Casa de Mont\u00e1nchez, y sobre todo, la b\u00fasqueda y el rescate, si fuera necesario, de la prometida del \u201cmontanchego\u201d. Mientras unos viajan a devolver las campanas de C\u00f3rdoba a la Catedral de Santiago por mandato real; Pedro y otros capitanes, se dedican a buscar a Iberia y para ello tienen que llegar hasta Mertola en el reino moro de Badajoz, donde consiguen rescatarla y ponerla bajo los cuidados de don Gonzalo. El \u201cMontanchego\u201d vuelve a Toro con sus amigos entre los que se encuentra el propio heredero, Alfonso. All\u00ed se har\u00e1n pasar por banqueros jud\u00edos y consiguen que los nobles, \u201ctraidores a la Casa de Mont\u00e1nchez\u201d, piquen el anzuelo por codicia y que Pedro consiga su venganza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
