Centenary Paper: The Celestial Knights of San Millán: Forgery and Allegory in Twelfth-Century Spain.
In the Votos de San Millán, the prologue to the Becerro Galicano cartulary, two saints –Millán and Santiago– appear to inspire a combined Leonese and Castilian host to victory over a Moorish army at the legendary Battle of Hacinas. The Votos was in all probability composed between May 1194 and July...

The Votos was in all probability composed between May 1194 and July 1195, i. e., just after the Treaty of Tordehumos established a ten-year truce between León and Castile brokered by the papal legate Gregory of St Angelo on behalf of his uncle Celestine III, intended to smooth the way for a victorious Christian alliance against the Almohads. We contend that the legendary account of battle that appears in the Votos is intended as an allegory for the prospective alliance, before this was shattered at the Battle of Alarcos in July 1195. En los Votos de San Millán , el prólogo del cartulario conocido como el Becerro Galicano , dos santos –Millán y Santiago– aparecen para inspirar a una hueste combinada leonesa y castellana a la victoria sobre un ejército musulmán en la legendaria batalla de Hacinas. Los Votos se redactaron con toda probabilidad entre mayo de 1194 y julio de 1195, es decir, justo después de que el Tratado de Tordehumos estableciera una tregua de diez años entre León y Castilla mediada por el legado papal Gregorio de San Ángello en nombre de su tío Celestino III y con la intención de facilitar una alianza cristiana contra los almohades. Sostenemos que el relato legendario de la batalla que aparece en los Votos pretende ser una alegoría de esta anhelada alianza, antes de que ésta fuera destrozada en la batalla de Alarcos en julio de 1195. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2024 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
