Cervantes Did Not Lose An Arm In Lepanto
A London Chronicle correction notes that Cervantes did not lose an arm at Lepanto and that forged portraits misled readers. It cites H E Watts and others, stating his wounded left hand never fully recovered and he could not have served four years as infantry after a hand loss. Cervantes’ own account appears in the prologue of the Exemplary Novels. He fought Turks at Lepanto in 1571 despite fever.
