Synopsis
On the 20th of April, 1586, just 50 years after Pizzaro had laid the foundation stone of the “City of the Kings,” there was born in Lima a girl, who received in baptism the name of Isabella. Her father, Gaspar de Flores, was a soldier of noble birth, but poor, in Peru. Her mother, Maria d’Olivia, was a mestiza, sharing Spanish and Incan blood. Who among the conquering Spaniards would have guessed that the first canonized Saint of the New World (Feast Day - August 23rd) and patroness of the Americas would have enjoyed a share in the ancestry of the Incan people? El 20 de abril de 1586, justo 50 anos después de que Pizarro hubiera colocado los cimientos de piedra de la "Ciudad de los Reyes", nace una nina en Lima, quien recibe en el bautizo el nombre de Isabel. Su padre, Gaspar de Flores, era un soldado noble por nacimiento, pero pobre, en Perú. Su Madre de Oliva, era una mestiza; de sangre española e inca. Quien entre los conquistadores españoles hubiera supuesto que la primera canonizada Santa del Nuevo Mundo (Día de Fiesta -23 de agosto) y patrona de las Americas pudiera haber disfrutado y compartido el ancestral de los incas?
