Toledo
Toledo is a city located in central Spain and the capital of the province of Toledo.
History
15th century
In 1489, the Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins entered the city in search of a painting from a set created by Leonardo da Vinci that had been inadvertently gambled away by their associate, Jaime del Rada. The paintings were obtained by the Inquisition captain Diego de Burgos, who separated them and gave one to each of his underlings. Among those people was Alfonso Cavallero, a lieutenant who collected art. Finding Cavallero's villa, the Assassins stealthily broke in and recovered the painting.[1]
16th century
Around 1511, the Templars commandeered the forges of the city's famous blacksmiths, causing them to flee to Madrid. The Assassins reclaimed their properties from the Templars, returning them to their rightful owners.[2]
18th century
Later, during the early 18th-century, the city was visited by the pirate Edward Kenway; whilst in the city, he procured ownership of the famed Blades of Toledo.[3]
Industry
Toledo was made famous by the steel alloy produced there, and named after its hometown as Toledo Steel.[4]
