This research on the 15th and 16th century songbook writer Suero de Ribera, to whom up to twenty-five compositions are attributed, provides previously unknown documentation on his biography after locating him in various historical archives, documentation that probably refers to your person. From these, I establish his relationship with important figures in the social life of Rome and Naples, such as the Count of Oliva and the Cardinal of Capua, the Valencian Joan Llopis. And I venture his family background, Valladolid, the Castilian city of which he speaks in some of his poems.
