Starting from the definition of iracundia as an exacerbation of anger, this article examines various modes of its reproach based on textual and engraved sources. Among the different texts and emblems that criticise the iracundia of the powerful, satire targets the generality of the wrathful, particularly in Sebastian Brant’s Ship of Fools. In this context, an entremés by Vicente Suárez de Deza emerges, dedicated to the theme of the ill-married man, whose protagonist is named Don Iracundo. The explanation of this name allows us to observe the parody of iracundia as an epic epithet and its connection with the themes of love and deception, making Don Iracundo a perfect name for the play under study.
