About this listen

In this episode, we journey into the origins of Pelagius and his rise to leadership in Asturias. We explore his strategic use of guerrilla warfare that challenged the Umayyad rule. As the Umayyads shifted their focus to Gaul, the impact on Asturias allowed Pelagius to solidify his position. The narrative brings to life the Battle of Covadonga, examining its significance, various accounts, and the tactics employed. We conclude by reflecting on the aftermath of Pelagius's rebellion, which laid the groundwork for the Christian resistance and the eventual Reconquista in Iberia.
