The Spanish have long held a contentious place within the European landscape. Often regarded with contempt and considered as a different people altogether, particularly northern, Protestant regions regard them as evil incarnate and the root of a great cause of hurt. This was later described by Spanish historians as the Black Legend; a historical narrative that - in their eyes unjustly - made their nation look far worse than they deserved.
Where did all this hatred come from? And more importantly, was it justified?
