8 The news of the discovery of the remains of St. James and the foundation of the cult was announced in the Martyrdom of Adoti which was written before 860, and spread throughout Christendom. V. de Parga, Peregrinaciones a Santiago (Madrid, 1948), Vol. I, p. 34.

11 The jongleurs of the thirteenth century magnified the Siege of Coimbra, dragging out its length to seven years, and stating that Rodrigo was knighted there by the King. From the Historia Roderici we know that he had received the accolade from Sancho before the Battle of Graus in 1063. R. Menéndez Pidal, op. cit., p. 82.

13 The Chanson de Roland was probably written at the beginning of the twelfth century, about thirty years before the Cantar de Mio Cid. The Chanson was written for the people to admire as an altarpiece. The Poema del Cid was written from the point of view of the people. A. Castro, op. cit., p. 246.

16 The Abbey of Cluny in the eleventh and twelfth centuries peopled Spain with its clerics, as we know from the Historia Compostelana. The predecessor of the Great Archbishop of Compostella, Diego Gelmirez, had been a monk at Cluny, and the latter, though a Galician by birth, was French in spirit and strove all his life to reform his clergy according to French standards. It was the Abbot of Cluny too, who in 1095, begged from Pope Urban II the Pallium for Compostella, and Pope Calixtus II in 1120 had made Compostella into a metropolitan see.
