Carrión at the Time of Santob

Abstract

Civil wars for one or another king took place in Santob’s Carrion de los Condes, whose childhood was spent at the Court of Castile, where the young prince was educated until his coronation. A Jewish sect, karaites, was developed there in the twelfth century against the Talmud and used reason for interpretation of the Sacred Scriptures. Dissolving the Knights Templar in Carrion was important and St James Way passing through its streets was an influential way of finding new people. When Alfonso I died, some of the major knights of Carrion suffered persecution, their palaces and castles were destroyed, and some of them were killed. Bubonic plague and destroyed wealth were incited a new civil war with Pedro I and his brother.
