lonso Quixano the Good, commonly called Don Quixote of La Mancha, had passed from this life and had died a natural death the other night (938).

of Cide Hamete Benengelis famous novel. He goes under the self-established persona Don Quixote, a knight. Readers followed his adventures almost as they came, for fans were well-aware of his pres ence while he was still making his trek across Spain on the quest to knighthood. His closest companion was Sancho Panza, a peasant. The priest and the barber of La Mancha were also present at his deathbed. Don Quixote/Alonso Quixano never married, though close friends and family alluded to a lover in another town, who is supposedly in extreme mourning. Though Quixote had his legion of good friends and faithful followers, there were also those who wanted to prevent from him from attaining full-fledged knighthood, including the Duke and the Duchess and Sanson Carrasco. He is survived by his niece, who believes that his legacy will not end dying as Alonso Quixano, but as Don Quixote. His spirit lives on, and his story will be remembered for centuries to come because as we know, heroes never die.
