Abstract

The Order of Calatrava was founded as a hybrid system. On the one hand, there was a military branch consisting of knight brethren. On the other hand, there was a religious branch formed by clerical brethren. Given the importance of the military wing, and considering the scarcity of records on the clerical brethren of Calatrava, chroniclers and historians have focused on the knights while neglecting research on the clergy. Hence, little is known of the personal identity of the clerics of Calatrava. This study aims to establish a list of clerical brethren in the Middle Ages, along with the positions they held, expanding the information already known and adding to this new data.
