In this video award winning Medievalist Dr. Kyle C. Lincoln a Medieval Iberian Historian guides us through an introduction to his upcoming series titled "Heroes or Villains of Medieval Iberia" he will examine historical figures and explore their world that we know as Medieval Iberia.


The medieval figures that this series will cover in totem:


(1) Alfonso I “the Battler” of Aragon: Hero, Villain, or Both?


(2) The Wolf King: the Life, Legend, and Legacy of Ibn Mardanish of Murcia.


(3) Gerardo sem Pavor: Portuguese Brigand or Brave Profiteer?


(4) Who Was the Evil Twin: Berenguer Ramon and Ramon Berenguer of Barcelona.


(5) “Along Came a Bear:” The Story of Sancho Fernandez of Leon.

(7) The Count who Killed an Archbishop: Guillem Ramon de Moncada. 


(8) Abd al-Rahman of Cordoba: The Refugee Who (Re-)Founded an Empire.


(9) The Myth of El Cid: Rodrigo Diaz.


From exploring the historical setting and climate that they emerged from to their actions that sealed their place in history and beyond to their mortality and historiography this series seeks to paint these characters as they were and leaves the audience to decide was this person a hero? A Villain? Or... is it more complicated than that?
