ABSTRACT

This paper seeks to reveal aspects of the process of the writing of history and the reinvention of the religious past which became crucial strategic elements in the legitimisation of some of the most important ecclesiastical institutions of medieval Iberia. Focusing on two texts, the Historia Compostellana and the Chronicon Iriense, both produced in the diocese of Santiago de Compostela, and each fundamental in defending the rights and authority of this powerful Galician see, we analyse their portrayal of Miro, king of the Suevi (r. 570–583), to whom is attributed the ecclesiastical organisation of northwestern Hispania. Both texts present this king as a central figure of Galician political and religious identity. The rewriting in medieval Compostela of Miro’s history is shown to be a key element in the disputes between that diocese and other Iberian episcopates, namely Braga, Toledo, Mondoñedo and Lugo.

摘要

本文试图揭示历史书写过程的各个方面和宗教过去的再造，这些过程成为中世纪伊比利亚一些最重要的教会机构合法化的关键战略要素。着眼于两个文本，孔波斯特拉纳历史和伊里恩斯纪事，这两个文本都在圣地亚哥德孔波斯特拉教区制作，每一个都是捍卫这个强大的加利西亚看到的权利和权威的基本要素，我们分析了它们对苏维埃国王米罗的描绘（ r. 570–583 )，西班牙西北部的教会组织归功于他. 这两篇文字都将这位国王描述为加利西亚政治和宗教身份的核心人物。中世纪孔波斯特拉对米罗历史的改写被证明是该教区与其他伊比利亚主教（即布拉加、托莱多、蒙多涅多和卢戈）之间争端的关键因素。
