The Last Knight of Europe: The Life of Don John of Austria is a biography written by Gloria Goddard. The book delves into the life of Don John of Austria, a historical figure who was the illegitimate son of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and half-brother of King Philip II of Spain. Don John was a prominent military commander who played a crucial role in the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, where he led the Christian fleet to victory against the Ottoman Empire. The book provides a detailed account of Don John's life, from his early years as a young boy in the Spanish court to his rise as a military leader and his eventual death at the age of 31. It explores his relationships with his family members, including his half-brother King Philip II, and his romantic affairs. The book also highlights the political and religious tensions of the time, including the conflict between the Catholic Church and the Ottoman Empire. Gloria Goddard's writing style is engaging and informative, making the book an enjoyable read for both history enthusiasts and casual readers.
