Alfonso II and the Beginnings
of the Jacobean Cult
By Miguel Larrañaga Zulueta (Antiquity and Middle Ages
Research Centre)
AMARC-IEU: 17/03/2025
There are few certainties surrounding the origins of the
Jacobean cult, which provide many hypotheses. The
origins of the Jacobean cult remain primarily uncertain
and provide numerous hypotheses. The official version
(and popular belief), with extensive literature on it,
relies on the biblical text that mentions the martyrdom
of Saint James the Great in the later medieval tradition
(12th century), narrated by the Historia Compostelana:
the apostle died beheaded in the Holy Land during the
time of Herod Agrippa, around the year 44 CE, and his
body taken to a remote location in Galicia, where it
would be miraculously discovered by Bishop Teodomiro of
Iria Flavia, present-day Padrón, in the early decades of
the 9th century. When King Alfonso II of Asturias
(791-842) received news of the discovery, he became the

New life for the old hospital
in Coca (Segovia, Spain)
The Town Council and IE University join forces to
convert the former health centre into a Historical
Interpretation Centre
EL DÍA DE SEGOVIA: 07/02/2025
Coca's rich heritage is a gift. Its imposing castle
crowns the town, but despite being best known for being
one of the most beautiful examples of Spanish
Gothic-Mudejar art, the municipality hides other charms.
With the aim of promoting all that is not so visible,
the Coca Town Council and IE University have signed a
collaboration agreement through which they join forces
to enhance the attractiveness of the town. The idea is
to carry out the rehabilitation of the old hospital of
La Merced to create a Historical Interpretation Centre
to boost the local cultural industry and promote
sustainable tourism linked to the knowledge of
historical and natural heritage.
