| Abstract | The purpose of this session is to analyse how ecclesiastical and royal institutions used their archives to preserve the memories of specific people and events which were of special importance. The period selected will cover the 12th to 15th centuries. The first paper will focus on the benefactors of the cathedral chapter in Leon from the 12th century onwards. Specifically, it will explore why the clerics elevated the memory of some benefactors over others. The second one examines the reception of Roman Law and its impact on the Castilian royal chancery, particularly in regards to the process of composing acta. Finally, the third paper will explore different methods of preserving the patrimony of the royal monastery of Las Huelgas of Valladolid and the transmission of its institutional memory during the Late Middle Ages. |
