The Kingdom of León
AD 910 -1230
The kingdom was founded as an expanded Asturias & Galicia, although
the latter experienced periods of semi-independence. The Asturian capital of Oviedo in Asturias was
moved to Zamora, and it was probably Ordoño II who moved it again, this time to León, from which the
enlarged kingdom now drew its name. The reignal numbering continued from Asturias. |
