    • Abstract:
      I wonder in this article about the presence of Cluny in Spain during the reign of Ferdinand I, a presence that has recently been completely questioned. I examine the payment of a census to Cluny, the mentions of funeral commemoration, the origin of the monk named Galindus of Clunia, theLiber canticorum and horarumof Queen Sancha, and finally, a text by Peter Damian relating to an episode in a Muslim town from Hispania. I conclude that “the claim that these connections did not exist when they are attested to in several sources, when the contact existed not only during the reign of Alfonso VI, their son, but also with Ferdinand's father and his two brothers, does not seem credible to me”.
