The Emergence of Reconquest Rhetoric in Asturias and León uncovers the dramatic origins of one of medieval Europe's most enduring narratives: the Christian Reconquest of Spain. Between the 8th and 10th centuries, amid the chaos following the fall of the Visigothic kingdom and the rise of Muslim power, the fledgling kingdoms of Asturias and León forged a powerful new identity rooted in faith, history, and the unyielding belief in divine destiny.

Jefferson Martinez takes readers deep into the heart of this transformative era, revealing how early Christian leaders crafted compelling stories of restoration and holy warinvoking divine sanction, ancient Visigothic law, and miraculous victoriesto inspire hope, legitimize rule, and unite a fractured people. Through vivid analysis of chronicles, royal charters, and sacred rituals, the book illuminates how language became a weapon as vital as swords and shields.

This masterful exploration of faith, politics, and identity unveils the true power behind the Reconquista's legend and offers fresh insights into the roots of Spain's national myth. Perfect for history enthusiasts, medieval buffs, and anyone captivated by the clash of civilizations and the forging of nations.
