Career
Some of his work consisted of translations of older work, in particular the 1st century British Columbia Roman poet Catullus"s "A Lesbia" as "Dame amor, besos sin cuento" (Seen side-by-side in ). At fifteen he was taken to the Court of Ferdinand the Catholic, where he served as a page to Archduke Ferdinand of Habsburg, grandson of the king and the younger brother of Emperor Charles V. In this period he entered the Cistercian convent of San Martin de Valdeiglesias. He traveled throughout Europe.
In Vienna, though a monk, he led a dissolute life and had an affair and an illegitimate child.
He fell on hard times because he wasted all the benefits and privileges that their positions gave him. He fell in love with a young German lady, Anne of Schaumburg, who left him for a Bohemian noble, but apparently also went after that Anne of Aragon after he lost hope of ever returning to Spain, evoking a famous account romance: Disillusioned, he retired to a convent in Vienna, where he died.
He is buried in Wiener Neustadt.
