Many of my fifths had no doubt that the Kingdom of Navarre had become Castile in 1512: it was an agreement of the lords and kings here and there and there, and there was no need to go back on the matter.

In the stoves and after dinner in our house we have talked little about it. And the same is true of most families in the area. A few years ago he began to speak of the bloody conquest, thanks to courageous historians and researchers, but always in small groups, always striving for official truths and almost never in private spheres.

Apart from the sacred history of the Bible, what kind of story have we received from our grandparents? It's not the path of our land. Moreover, who have inherited the history of Navarre from their grandparents?

It is always said that the story is written by the winners, but there is no mention of the role of the losers' silence to add to that: How do you tell your children the failure of each one, the lost struggles of each one? That is how history has been conveyed. For example, the civil war that is still very close. What do the men and women who voted for the first time this year know about this? What do we know? From the greatness our parents told in their youth, to the confessions they made in old age there is a lot of room, full of feeling but with little data definidos.Da a lot of rage to have stolen in
our childhood some passages as epic as moving in our recent history: Biography, leading role and murder of Pedro Mariscala from Navarra. Or it was worse than any of the series the conspiracies made by Fernando the Catholic, which then Machiavelli would expound as a model, to expel the Kings of Navarra from the then Popes. Or the struggles, adventures and misfortunes made in our soils: Noain, Amaiur. History of the 16th century, this century, last year, last week. Take advantage to tell our next ones what we have learned and lived, victories and defeats, people and characters. You don't have to wait for retirement. This same summer is a good time to start.
