This episode discusses how the image of St James was transformed into a knight leading Christian military efforts against the Muslims in Spain. It will explore the role of Compostela’s cathedral chapter in creating and promoting this new image and discuss how the shrine benefited politically and economically from the association. It will further show how the legend of the so-called Santiago Matamoros became a symbol of Spanish identity and colonizing power.
