EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image showcases the death certificate of Maria Pita, a brave and celebrated Spanish heroine from the 16th century. Born as Maria Mayor Fernandez de Camara y Pita, she gained renown for her valiant defense of Corunna during the English Armada's attack in 1589, led by Francis Drake. The document, taken from the Book of Deceased Persons of Sigras Parish Church in Galicia, Spain, records her passing on February 21, 1643. Maria Pita's heroic actions during the siege of Corunna are the stuff of legend. With her husband and son killed in the initial assault, she took up arms and defended the city's fortifications, inspiring the remaining defenders and repelling the English forces. King Philip II recognized her bravery by awarding her the rank of ensign. This historical document, a testament to Maria Pita's courage and resilience, is now preserved at the Maria Pita House Museum in Corunna, Galicia, Spain. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to an extraordinary woman who played a pivotal role in Spanish history.
