Memorias e imágenes entrelazadas: el reinado de Alfonso VI en la Estoria de los godos

Abstract

Jiménez de Rada᾽s De rebus Hispaniae was highly resonant in peninsular historiography, and its narrative expression was also conveyed in the form of romanceamientos. Critics have already shown that the Estoria de los godos, anonymous and difficult to date, is the most distant configuration from the Toledano᾽s account. This study focuses on the sections of the romanceamiento dedicated to the reign of Alfonso VI. The comparative reading, supported by narratological tools, makes it possible to highlight the rigor and complexity of the redaction of this work. This approach provides clues about its context of production, while the detected particularities —especially, the treatment of the Cid᾽s trayectory— allow us to reevaluate the position of the Estoria de los godos in the memoristic interactions of the late 13th century.
