Francisco Imperial

Francisco Imperial (died between 1403 and 1409) was a Genoese poet who lived in Seville and wrote lyric and allegorical poetry in Spanish around the turn of the 15th century. All of his preserved poetry can be found in the Cancionero de Baena.

Imperial served under the monarch Henry III of Castile (reigned 1390-1406), and one of his poems celebrated the birth of Henry's son John II of Castile. In 1403, Imperial served as the lieutenant of the Admiral of Castile. By 1409, he had apparently died. There is mention of his heirs in a document of this year. Provided by Wikipedia
