- Abstract
The presence of Cluny in the Iberian Peninsula achieved an extraordinary importance in the XIth and XIIth centuries, as far as its identity mark transcended what we would classify today as religious domain, to reach the central field of politics. Specially in the kingdom of León the cluniac scenario has powerful and well known political actors. Even though the relationship with Cluny had different characteristics that depend on the historical circumstances of each kingdom, for historiography it was on the time of Alfonso VI that the presence of Cluny appeared with stronger political connotations, mainly by virtue of Hugo de Semur. In general, for historiography there are three emblematic moments that reveal the political strength that abbot Hugo achieved in Alfonso's VI kingdom: a) the monarch's marriage with Constance of Burgundy and the marriages of his daughters, Urraca and Teresa with Raymond and Henry of Burgundy; b) the "succession pact" between Raymond and Henry of Burgundy; c) the payment of a census to Cluny. Our goal is to present some problems in order to understand how historiography interprets those moments and transforms them in historical facts.
