Abstract

The government of Bermudo II (982-999) stands out as the most critical moment of the rebellion movements during Astur-Leonese Kingdom. The different historiographical contributions have tried to explain what kind of motivations lead to certain individuals to commit these actions, while the repressions exercised by the monarchy have barely attracted the attention of researchers because they are understood as natural cause of the punishment to the seditious. In this paper, I will try to analyse the different categories of the seditions and their consequences according to a diachronic context and to the construction of patronage networks with the purpose of confirm or deny the presumed central authority fragility image during the second half of the 10th century
