The play is based on the love affair between King Alfonso VIII of Castile and Rahel la Fermosa, a Jewish woman.

In 1919 the play was turned into a German silent film The Jewess of Toledo directed by Otto Kreisler

La Historia de Fermosa by Abraham S. Marrache covers the same story, but in the form of a historical novel.[1]
