EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illuminated manuscript page showcases the genealogy of Pelayo, the legendary King of Asturias (718-737), who is considered the founder of the Kingdom of Asturias in the Iberian Peninsula during the early Middle Ages. The manuscript, which dates back to the 13th or 14th century, is part of the Royal and Ancestral Archives of the Spanish Monarchy, housed in the National Library in Madrid, Spain. The illustration is a miniature painting, masterfully executed with intricate details and vivid colors. Pelayo is depicted wearing a royal coat, symbolizing his regal status, while the coats of arms of his ancestors are displayed above him. The illustration also includes the coats of arms of the Reyes de León (Kings of León) and the Reyes de Castilla (Kings of Castille), highlighting the historical connection between the Asturian, Leonese, and Castilian dynasties. The manuscript is a valuable historical document, providing insights into the genealogy of the Asturian monarchy during the Reconquista, or the Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule. The illustration is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of medieval Spain, and is a reminder of the important role that the Kingdom of Asturias played in shaping the history of the Iberian Peninsula.
