摘要：The absence of a royal mausoleum in Castile similar to Saint-Denis or Westminster has been traditionally considered a result of the kings’ disinterest in funerary ceremonials and a consequence the changing boundaries of an expanding kingdom. The current article aims to analyse the funerary spaces of the Castilian- Leonese monarchy during the Middle Ages and to suggest the main obstacles to the consolidation of a dynastic royal mausoleum. This paper will re-examine the role of the Reconquista in this process and will try to show how the spread of funerary spaces and the non-consolidation of a centralized royal mausoleum was the consequence of specific circumstances between the second half of the thirteenth and the end of the fourteenth century, the period when the rest of Western monarchies created their own mausoleums.
