Nota sobre las canciones

«¡Ay de mí Alhama!», «ya por la puerta de Elvira…» y «En la ciudad de Granada grandes alaridos dan» son canciones tradicionales, citadas por Francesca Claremont en Catherine of Aragon (ver bibliografía).

«Una palmera se yergue en Rusafa» es un poema de Abderramán, citado en La joya del mundo, de Rosa Menocal (ver bibliografía).
