Abstract
ABSTRACT This article deals with one of the best documented medical cases of the sixteenth century—a near fatal head injury suffered in 1562 by Don Carlos (1545–68), son of Philip II and heir to the Spanish throne. It examines the highly detailed contemporary sources that shed light on the injury and its treatment and then explores the relationship between them. It also explores the conflicting claims of medicine and religion to explain the prince's seemingly miraculous cure and the canonization of the first Counter-Reformation saint, San Diego de Alcalá, that resulted directly from this healing.
