Abstract This paper presents the first in-depth analysis of textiles held by Museo de la Real Colegiata San Isidoro León, providing a careful investigation textile features and raw materials, in addition to carbon-14 dating archival research. These new data have allowed us redate fabrics, placing them within their tenth- through early thirteenth-century Mediterranean European contexts. The result is more complex image than was previously assumed, it offers significant starting point for further research into roles played medieval Iberia.
