The Spanish Match is an 1865 three-volume historical novel by the British writer William Harrison Ainsworth.[1] [2] [3] It was originally serialised in Bentley's Miscellany under the alternative title House of the Seven Chimneys, a reference to the English Embassy in Spain.[4] It was then published in London by Chapman and Hall. It is based on the historic Spanish match, a proposed marriage between the English and Spanish royal families in the 1620s.[5]
