The Lara Family
For much of the Middle Ages, the Lara family was among the most powerful aristocratic lineages in Spain. Proteges of the monarchy at the time of El Cid, their influence reached extraordinary heights during the struggle against the Moors. Hand-in-glove with successive kings, they gathered an impressive array of military and political positions across the Iberian Peninsula. But cooperation gave way to confrontation, as the family was pitted against the crown in a series of civil wars. This book, the first modern study of the Laras, explores the causes of change in the dynamics of power, and narrates the dramatic story of the events that overtook the family. The Laras' militant quest for territorial strength and the conflict with the monarchy led toward a fatal end, but anticipated a form of aristocratic power that long outlived the family. The noble elite would come to dominate Spanish society in the coming centuries, and the Lara family provides important lessons for students of the history of nobility, monarchy, and power in the medieval and early modern world.
The Kingdom of León-Castilla Under King Alfonso VII, 1126-1157
The reign of Alfonso VII occupied more than a quarter century during which the political landscape of medieval Spain was altered significantly. It was marked by the enhancement of royal administration, an increased papal intervention in the affairs of the peninsular church, and the development of the church's territorial structure. With the publication of The Kingdom of Leon-Castilla Under King Alfonso VII, 1126-1157, Bernard Reilly completes a detailed, three-part history of the largest of the Christian states of the Iberian peninsula from the mid-eleventh through the mid-twelfth century. Like his earlier books on the reigns of Queen Urraca and King Alfonso VI, this will no doubt be an essential resource for all students of European and Spanish history and to anyone investigating the antecedents of Castile's eventual preeminence in Iberian affairs.
Eglise et pouvoir dans la péninsule ibérique
La décennie 1250, qui voit la consolidation du processus de reconquête chrétienne avec l'intégration de l'Andalousie bétique au royaume de Castille, passe souvent pour le début d'un déclin des ordres militaires, dont la vocation de lutter contre les infidèles aurait dès lors perdu sa raison d'être. Le présent ouvrage remet en question cette idée reçue. Une analyse détaillée des sources, dont certaines restaient inédites, montre qu'après le milieu du XIIIe siècle les ordres militaires, alors moins étudiés qu'à leurs débuts, n'entrent nullement en décadence. Leur image auprès des contemporains demeure positive et, si leur profil religieux s'atténue au XIVe siècle, une...

Música religiosa en la Castilla rural de los siglos XVIII y XIX
La presente tesis doctoral es un estudio musicológico detallado de la cultura musical en la principal institución religiosa de una villa castellana. En la iglesia de los Santos Juanes de Nava del Rey (Valladolid), pese al tamaño relativamente pequeño de la localidad, no sólo existió una capilla de música estable, sino que también ha sobrevivido un amplia riqueza de material, consistente en varios cientos de partituras y diferentes tipos de fuentes de archivo En la primera parte se establecen los métodos y objetivos del trabajo, situándolo en el contexto general de la investigación de la historia de la música religiosa en España durante el período elegido. Se describe el contexto socio- cultural e histórico, así como el patrimonio artístico de la villa. También se reconstruye la organización y base de financiación de la capilla de música, realizando un listado de sus integrantes.
