Impostors and impostures featured prominently in the political, social and religious life of early modern England. Who was likely to be perceived as impostor, and why? This book offers a full-scale analysis of this multifaceted phenomenon. Using approaches drawn from historical anthropology and micro-history, it investigates changes and continuities within the impostor phenomenon from 1500 to the late eighteenth century, exploring the variety of representations and perceptions of impostors, and their deeper meanings within the specific contexts of social, political, religious, institutional and cultural change. The book examines a wide range of sources, from judicial archives and other official records to chronicles, newspapers, ballads, pamphlets and autobiographical writings. Given that identity is never fixed, but involves a performative dimension, changing over time and space, it looks at the specific factors which constitute identity in a particular context, and asks why certain characteristics of an allegedly false identity were regarded as fake.

Local chronicles meticulously document regional history, but their potential for disseminating and preserving local cultural heritage has not been fully exploited. Narrative maps offer new inspiration for expressing local chronicles. Nonetheless, existing studies often lack a structured methodology for translating textual narratives into effective map designs. This study proposes a systematic workflow to transform local chronicles into narrative maps, guiding the visual encoding of narrative content through elaborate map layouts, distinctive and meaningful colors, figurative hand-painted symbols, and scene symbols. The application and effectiveness of this method are demonstrated through a detailed case study mapping the Shaolin martial arts culture. The resulting map illustrates how structured design can unlock the cultural value of local chronicles, enhance public engagement, and assist in heritage preservation. The proposed method provides a replicable reference for designing narrative maps from other textual materials.

Abstract This study examines the gallery project in the Hall of Kings at the Alcazar of Segovia, constructed by Enrique IV of Castile around 1458-1466, from the point of view of an understanding of royal iconography and the composition of the inscriptions that accompanied them. To achieve this, our starting point will be the testimonies that reproduced the inscriptions of the original project: the Memorial que se sacó del Alcaçar de Segobia, de la sala de los Reyes (1588) (Report Copied from the Hall of Kings at the Alcazar of Segovia) by Juan Fernandez de Contreras, governor of the Alcazar, and De las estatuas antiguas (Of Ancient Statues) (1590) by Diego de Villalta. The work will enable us to highlight the close contact that the gallery had with the combination of chronicles, the complementary role that text and image had in the concept of the project and its role in communicating a set of historical images which stressed the link between the Castilian monarchy and the Visigothic kings. Para ello, partiremos de los testimonios escritos que reproducen las cartelas del primitivo proyecto: el Memorial que se sacó del Alcaçar de Segobia, de la sala de los Reyes (1588)7, realizado por Juan Fernández de Contreras († 1608), alcaide del alcázar, quien se encargó de remitir una copia de las inscripciones a la catedral de Santiago de Compostela por carta fechada el 17 de julio de 1588s, en el marco del acopio de materiales que la Iglesia de Santiago realizó con el fin de defender el cobro del Voto de Santiago, dentro del conocido como Pleito grande; y el tratado De las estatuas antiguas (1590) del cronista y anticuario Diego de Villalta, conservado en sendas copias manuscritas en la British Library (Londres)9 y en la Fundación Lázaro Galdiano (Madrid)10. La serie estaría así diseñada probablemente para ser vista desde el acceso a la sala de Reyes a través de la sala de las Pinas y del actual patio del Reloj, que ofrecía una perspectiva que, en ambos casos, dejaría la efigie de Enrique IV a la derecha del espectador, posición que gozaba de una especial preeminencia en el período medieval19.
