Realeza sapiencial y mecenazgo cultural en los reinos de León y Castilla (1000-1200)

This article deals with the connections between the discourse of the political Theology of Solomonic kingship and the patronage of learning and the arts displayed by the rulers of Leon and Castile in the period 1000-1200. This will be accomplished through the comparative analysis of the court intellectuals and artist and their works in their curial context. Particularly relevant for this analysis are the reception of European courtly dymanics and political ideas and the mutual influences between the Spanish Christian kingdoms themselves. From this comparative view we conclude that this was not a regional development but just the local Spanish reception of a European-wide ideological and cultural movement
