Description

Explore the complex history of twelfth-century Spain through this scholarly study of San Isidoro in Leon. This book traces the evolution of the site from an eleventh-century palatine chapel within a double monastery to a major twelfth-century pilgrimage church managed by Augustinian canons. By examining the architectural changes of the royal monastic complex, the text offers a new perspective on how political power and religious structures connected. A significant part of this research involves the recovery of the lost patronage of Queen Urraca, who reigned from 1109 to 1126. The study demonstrates how Urraca maintained and subverted her family traditions of patronage, providing a necessary lens to understand the art and architecture of San Isidoro. This work is an essential resource for those studying the Medieval and Early Modern Iberian World, offering deep insights into the relationship between royal authority and religious building projects.
