Very little note, however, has been taken of his ideas about the relationship between historiography in fifteenth century. According to him fifteenth-century did not take up new versions because they revise old legends (Reliquias lxxiv).1 The story Sancho II several chronicles demonstrates that contrary, still being revised some extent, also these revisions due exclusively stylistic criteria. For this paper I primarily following sources: Sumario de los reyes Espania por el Despensero mayor la Reyna doha Leonor (Sumario, before 1404), Refundicidn del reina dora (Sumario II, 1460-1470), Libro las bienandanzas efortunas (Bienandanzas) Lope Garcia Salazar
