Battle of Clavijo

The Battle of Clavijo is a mythical battle, believed for centuries to be historical, which became a popular theme of Spanish traditions regarding the Reconquista. Stories about the battle first arose in the 13th century. According to these stories, it was fought near Clavijo between Christians led by Ramiro I of Asturias and Muslims led by the Emir of Córdoba. The Diccionario de historia de España (1968) and the historiographical criticism of Juan Francisco Masdeu have made it be considered today a legendary battle, whose inclusion in the chronicles would be due to Archbishop Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada, in the 1200's that would include, mixing and mythologizing data from other battles of different times and locations, although it is, broadly speaking, the mythification of the second battle of Albelda. However, the battle was celebrated as an element of shaping Spanish national history and the origin of the pilgrimage of the way of Saint James.
