Seville is the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of Andalusia and the province of Seville, Spain.
History
Middle Ages
During the Reconquista, many Spanish Assassins were implanted in the city, among them María and Aguilar de Nerha.[1]
In 1492, the Templar-backed Spanish Inquisition captured the Assassin Mentor Benedicto, María, and Aguilar and brought them to Seville, where Grand Inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada branded them as heretics and pronounced that they were to be burned at the stake for their crimes. Benedicto was burned, but María and Aguilar managed to escape the execution and subsequently fled the city.[1]
Around the same time, a renowned brothel by the name of La Reina Sonriente ("The Smiling Queen") was active in Seville, owned and operated by the local Thieves' Guild. Flora de la Cruz[2] and Angela Carillo[3] were regarded as the brothel's top courtesans, and both later joined the Spanish Brotherhood.[2][3]
Modern times
In 1715, the pirate Edward Kenway was due to be shipped to Seville with the Spanish Treasure Fleet, following the revelation of his trickery to the Caribbean Templars in Havana.[4] However, Edward managed to escape his predicament, and the treasure fleet was sunk by a storm.[5]
In the late 18th century, the de Grandpré company, under the administration of Aveline de Grandpré, conducted business in the city, importing and exporting a variety of products.[6]
During the French Revolution, the Theatre Troupe of Amiens was set to perform "The Barber of Seville" in Paris, but the production had to be cancelled due to the murders of two of its lead actors.[7]
In December 2016, after discovering that an Apple of Eden was buried with Christopher Columbus in the Seville Cathedral, the Templar Alan Rikkin, his daughter Sofia, and Councilwoman Ellen Kaye recovered the artifact from the church.[1]
