This article deals with an aspect of the deep social crisis occurred in Leon and
Castile during the time of Queen Urraca (regnante 1109-1126), the heir of Alfonso
VI (regnante 1066/1072-1109). It was a period of war, which even continued after
the death of the queen, during the first years of the reign of her son and heir,
Alfonso VII (regnante, 1126-1157). The paper does not aim to describe the course
of a war in the 12th century. It asks, however, questions about the dynamics of the
war. To do so, we look at its material, social and symbolic items throughout a series
of pictures from various sources.
