Summary
This article shows the importance of saints in the confirmation of the identities of towns and villages. Seville, conquered in 1248 by the Castilian King Ferdinand III, will him into a myth and a symbol of its identity. In the mentality of the medieval and golden centuries, to have in the patrimony a king that "restored" Christianity in the town, was tantamount to being its creator. In the struggle with other towns for pre-eminence, this was a considerable added value. The myth of Saint Ferdinand is currently quite devaluated.Sing up and download the publications of Eusko Ikaskuntza
