Summary:One of the problems researchers have had to tackle when studying the figure of Andrés de Claramonte has been determining which plays form his dramatic corpus. Even though much has been done in this sense, it is a problem which must still be solved in a definitive way. In this paper I show how the saint’s play titled San Carlos —traditionally thought to have been written by the director Andrés de la Vega and of which only a manuscript copy exists— is really a play by Andrés de Claramonte. This attribution is confirmed both by contemporary documents related to the play and by the metre, which also allows us to date San Carlos in the intermediate stage of the playwright’s production.
