Correr de toros

On December 3rd, 1601, the noble deputies, desirous of extending the delight, the joy and the happiness occasioned by the birth of said princess, organised a bullfight [correr de toros], and so terminated the fiesta with much music of minstrels and many trumpets which were on the stages [catafals].

    I presume the princess in question to have been Ana of Austria, daughter of Philip III of Spain and Margaret of Austria, born in Valladolid on September 22nd and married off to Louis XIII of France just after her 14th birthday, although it would have been nice if it had been Elisenda, one of the local giants, who was apparently also born in 1601 and married Mustafà the Saracen.
