This volume examines the nature of aristocratic society in the Spanish kingdom of León and Castile in the twelfth century. Drawing on an extensive range of original sources, many of them unpublished, it highlights the unrivalled wealth, status and power enjoyed by some members of the aristocracy. It also explores the multifarious roles that lay magnates were expected to fulfil: as family protectors, landlords and judges; as courtiers, diplomats and military commanders; and, not least, as patrons of the church. The nobility of León and Castile experienced a number of important changes during this period. There are signs that a few great families began to develop an embryonic sense of lineage. The struggle for ascendancy with al-Andalus - Muslim Spain - also enabled some magnates to acquire influence far from their traditional centres of power, and the concept of crusade made itself felt in aristocratic circles. The book's Appendices include a unique biographical study of the counts of León and Castile and a selection of genealogical tables.

L'histoire impériale de l'Espagne a commencé bien avant le règne de Charles Quint. Elle trouve ses origines dans le petit royaume astur-léonais du xe au xie siècle, dont quelques rois furent désignés imperatores. Elle connaît son développement le plus étonnant au cours de la période qui va du règne d'Alphonse VI de Castille-León (1065-1109) à celui de son petit-fils Alphonse VII (1126-1157). Ces deux souverains n'hésitèrent pas à s'autoproclamer « empereurs des Espagnes » et à revendiquer une souveraineté qui, dans cette période de Reconquête, s'étendait idéalement sur toute la péninsule Ibérique. Ce livre retrace l'histoire de ce phénomène singulier que l'historiographie espagnole du milieu du xxe siècle avait érigé en mythe identitaire hispanique. Par un regard dépassionné sur les sources, il s'attache à dégager les procédés de légitimation monarchique dont témoigne l'usage du concept d'empire dans le León médiéval.
