I have heard Don Quixote  mentioned before but never knew who he was. Did you read the play “The Knight of the Burning Pestle” in your research? If so what did you find it comical. When i saw that he was from a small village "LaMancha", I smiled because in my home town Yoakum Tx there is a restuarant with that name I wondered if there was some kind of heritage attached to the name by chance.
