Abstract

This work attempts at analysing the story of Pelayo in its context. Going back to the text and the discourse generated by the story, an analysis is undertaken about its inner structure and the correlation and interdependence of its elements. Apart from revising its epic structure, there is an in-depth study of the archetype notion and its role in political image around the year 900.
