 Chapter 6: The Kingdom of León-Castilla under King Alfonso VI
Alfonso VI was the contemporary of William the Conqueror, of Robert Guiscard, and of the Emperor Henry IV.
It is possible that Alfonso VI chose this means of emphasizing the importance of his own initiatives and of both implicating the papal [112] legate in them and associating his new queen with those actions and thereby enhancing the likelihood of her eventual acceptance by the papacy.
Alfonso is addressed as the "glorious king of Spain," and the acceptance of the Roman liturgy in his kingdom is celebrated.

 Preface: The Kingdom of León-Castilla under King Alfonso VI
The reign of Alfonso VI was also to be the setting within which León-Castilla joined in the emergence of a new western Europe and itself also assimilated the new norms and structures that were being erected everywhere there.
Fernando I, Alfonso VI, Urraca; great-grandfather, grandfather, and mother: all had found in the monks of Cluny collaborators and pioneers for their aspirations of a renewed and purer worship in the cloisters of the peninsula.
Use of these Muslim works must be quite judicious not only because Alfonso VI was necessarily the central villain of their accounts but also because the very character of Muslim historical writing as essentially historical biography allowed much greater play to literary convention and dramatic license that was the case in the medieval Latin tradition.

 The Pilgrim's Guide, from Father Fita to European Cultural Route
There remains the question why this Guide was ever created, for, even if it was never widely distributed, even if it remained in the archives of the cathedral in Compostela, the document does actually exist, and is perfectly authentic.
An answer can be found in the Chronicle of Alfonso VII, king of Castilla and Galicia, written soon after his death, at the time of a very contentious succession (his son Sancho III succeeded him in 1157 but died in 1158, leaving the throne to his 3-year-old son Alfonso VIII).
Presented as departure points for Compostela, they in fact mark the outer limits of the Spanish influence that the partisans of the young Alfonso VIII were seeking to preserve.
