Lucho junto a los Reyes Catolicos, que le dieron la capitania de la Santa Hermandad en Toledo. Herido mortalmente en una escaramuza, fue enterrado en el monasterio de Ucles y trasladado junto a su padre.Gran parte de sus poemas amorosos se leen en el Cancionero General (1511 y 1514). Ofrecen simbolos belicos: el amor como conquista; el enamorado como cautivo, etc. Juega con el nombre de su esposa en acrosticos o silabas enlazadas; ofrece hiperboles sacroprofanas y alusiones a Fortuna. Las Coplas a la muerte de su padre (h.1476-79) aparecen por vez primera en Zamora, 1483. Las Coplas reflejan lecturas de historia antigua y ecos de Ciceron y Seneca. Tratan el tiempo y la muerte con sencillez. Por eso, Jorge Manrique es hoy el mas importante de los poetas medievales españoles.

Morris dancing, one of the more peculiar of the English folk customs, has been greatly misunderstood. In The History of Morris Dancing, 1458-1750 John Forrest analyses a wealth of evidence to show that Morris dancing does not, as is often assumed, have pagan or ancient origins. He examines early documentation to draw Morris traditions into the wide area of communal custom and public celebrations, showing the passage of dance ideas between groups previously considered folklorically distinct. Careful, detailed and encyclopaedic, The History of Morris Dancing, 1458-1750, is an essential reference work for specialists in English drama and social historians of the period, as well as offering fascinating insight for those who enjoy Morris dancing.

The idea that morris dancing captures the essence of ancient Englishness, inherently carefree and merry, has been present for over four hundred years. The Ancient English Morris Dance traces the history of those attitudes, from the dances introduction to England in the fifteenth century, through the contention of the Reformation and Civil War, during which morris dancing and maypoles became potent symbols of the older ways of living. Thereafter it developed and diversified, neglected and disdained, until antiquaries began to take an interest in its history, leading to its re-invention as emblematic of Victorian concepts of Merrie England in the nineteenth century. The quest for authentic understanding of what that meant led to its revival at the beginning of the twentieth century, but that was predicated on the perception of it as part of Englands declining rural past, to the neglect of the one area (the industrial north-west) where it continued to flourish. The revival led in turn to its further evolution into the multitude of forms and styles in which it may be encountered today.
