Quick Summary

"Del rey abajo, ninguno" ("Below the King, No One") is a play by Spanish dramatist Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla. Written in the 17th century, it is considered one of his best works, noted for its sense of reality and naturalness in plot, which set it apart from other plays influenced by his contemporary, Pedro Calderón de la Barca. Rojas Zorrilla was known for tragedies and a unique style called the comedia de figurón, featuring an eccentric main character. While little is known about Rojas Zorrilla's life, he was associated with the Spanish court and was awarded the Order of Santiago.12
