Here's medieval kings. Chapter V: Aurelio Back to work I

O de cómo escribir folio y medio con dos retazos

Con Fruela defenestrado, y siendo su hijo Alfonso aún menor de edad, la nobleza, al más puro estilo visigodo, eligió a "su" rey. Por supuesto, no eligieron al más apto, sino al más afín a sus necesidades, un tipo soft and ductile. With all of you, the first of the "lazy kings" of the Peninsula, Aurelio I. Fruela son of Perez, M. de Cantabria, thus nephew of Alfonso I. At least it was family.

Aurelius, as his three immediate successors, has gone down in history as one of the four "kings lazy" from Here, the style of the Merovingian Franks. The main feature of these kings is their lack of activity and short reigns. They are mentioned in passing by the sources. This means that we form the mental image of them as a sovereign little interest in government.

So

therefore, Aurelio know very little. We know who reigned from 768 to 774, and must have been born to 740, the son as we have said Fruela of Cantabria, and therefore grandson of Pedro de Cantabria, one who was beaten copper Pelayo. And his coronation should take place in Sama de Langreo. Of his reign, obviously, we know little. But the sources do reveal some interesting things. For example, they show that the death of Fruela brought the kingdom a major crisis that erupted in the way of the social. This social tension is due, apparently, to the protests of "slaves and freedmen," which could have led to the first revolt antinobiliar the kingdom. This "general strike" to the medieval ended As expected, crushed by the power, for fighting, had guns, horses and people die for them.

However, the highlight of the reign of Aurelius must have peace. And it had no other: as stated in a previous chapter of this saga, in al-Andalus ruled Rahman I (756-788), who brought relative calm to the area and stopped cold the expansionist ambitions of Alfonso I and company. Asturias was therefore at an impasse of those I mentioned in the article about Brian Boru, to al-Andalus not get compensated by blood and fire in Asturias, from experience, but they are not capable to push the Muslims an inch of land to the south. But that did not necessarily mean compensated southern neighbors could not be a walk in the mountainous north and loot and plunder at home ... That is why the kingdom of Asturias became a tributary of the Muslims ... a very special way.

If it was customary to pay tribute in gold or in kind, for some reason this was done in girls. Was to deliver a tribute to the emirate of Cordoba hundred maidens. It's that simple. I hope that was not a year, tiny bleeding because population would be for the kingdom of Asturias. The first payment of this tax should have done Aurelio, although it was not until Mauregato when formalized, apparently. Peace girls.

However, other sources claim that the popular uprising was due to lay on them to pay most of the tribute, which was not virgins, but that was accompanied by a number of hostages to secure payment . I opted more for this version, to be more credible. Surely this is the substratum of reality upon which settles the topic of a hundred maidens.

sick Aurelius died in 774, in the municipality of Langreo, in what is now San Martín del Rey Aurelio (you have just witnessed a display originality comparable only to the Sos Or Catholic King Wamba Wamba but cool). He was succeeded by Silo, elected by the nobility as well.
