About this person

Garci Sánchez de Badajoz (1460?-1534?) was a Spanish writer and poet. He was an author of lovers' complaints which were popular with the poets of the Renaissance. He was last recorded attending a Toledan imperial feast in 1525 according to an eyewitness account by Francesillo de Zúñiga, a private servant of the Emperor. However, it is thought he lived much later than that. Gregorio Silvestre, an admirer of the poet, met with him while in the service of Conde de Feria. Silvestre, born in 1520, entered into de Feria's service at fourteen years old, suggesting that Sánchez de Badajoz was still alive in at least 1534. It can also be inferred from Silvestre's writings that the poet was the head of a school of poets who continued to develop Spanish poetic forms.
