The Knight from Olmedo

This was a play from the Spanish 1600's playwright Lope de Vega. Like his play Fuenteovejuna this was loosely based on a real life story. It's a typical love story about a man in love with a woman engaged to another. But then it takes a more interesting turn he starts to get premonitions of his murder. We think it is going to be the bull fight coming up but really it's the jealous fiance of the girl he is loved with. He wants revenge. This was a pretty cool play. Why haven't I heard of this playwright?
