 Sample Chapter for Ruiz, T.F.: From Heaven to Earth: The Reordering of Castilian Society, 1150-1350.
They allow us to capture, even if only partially, a moment when the way Castilians thought and wrote about property, salvation, charity, and themselves was radically transformed.
Commanding the historical spotlight, these dramatic changes have often obscured other, more structural but equally enduring transformations of Castilian society.
Ferdinand eventually held the regency for his nephew, maneuvering to consolidate León's gains, and his own.

 Study 2, Fernando I and the origins of the Leonese-Castilian Alliance with Cluny
The relatively full published diplomatic collections of the Castilian monasteries of this period, including Oña, preserve no trace of the activities or even of the presence of Cluniacs in the kingdom, a silence presaging the very limited success Cluny was ever to achieve there, even with the support of Alfonso VI and his successors.
This collaboration brought about the assassination of the Castilian Infante García in 1029 on the very eve of his politically decisive marriage to Alfonso V's daughter Sancha; and its further fruits can be seen in el Mayor's occupation of Leon ca.
This permanent transformation of the peninsular political scene culminates in Fernando's victory over García of Nájera on 15 September 1054; but it was evidently in preparation several years previous, to judge by what the Silense tells us of the growing estrangement between the two brothers that led to war and Garcia's death.

By the way, 40% of Spanish population live in areas with an "official" language that is not only Castilian since Catalan, Basque, and Galician-Portuguese are official in their territories and the languages have now been compulsory in schools and regional governments for the past 25 years.

 Castilian Spanish and the History of Spanish Language
Alfonso X also adopted Castilian for administrative work and all official documents and decrees.
He and his court of scholars adopted the city of Toledo, a cultural center in the central highlands, as the base of their activities.
Isabella and Ferdinand made Castilian the official dialect in their kingdom.

 Spain Languages
Castilian is also spoken in many countries around the globe which were former colonies of Spain, most of them in Central and South America (except Brazil and the Guyanas), but not exclusively, and that is a fact that many people are not aware of.
The name of Castilian, and later on Spanish, really emerges from the re-conquest of Spain from the Moors by the Christians and it became the bridge of communication between the different peoples of the Iberian peninsula.
These figures make the official language of the Spanish State, which is also the most widely spoken Romance language, an expressive instrument for a community that embraces the globe, spoken by people from many different ethnic backgrounds.

 Castilian - Free Encyclopedia
Castilian is not to be confused with ceceo or seseo.
Castilian is the historical name of the Spanish language, which originated in the old Spanish kingdom of Castile.
While many Spaniards generally refer to their language as espa?l, in Mexico, Central and South America the language (however pronounced) is often called castellano (Castilian) because the word espa?l is used for "Spaniard".

 Castilian Spanish
The sociolinguistic pre-eminence of Castilian usage stems, obviously enough, from the way in which Spain the nation state came into being.
This was distributed widely in Spain and the colonies, thus helping to entrench the privileged position occupied by Castilian usage in the Spanish-speaking world.
Among speakers who have emigrated from Andalusia to Castilian cities (especially Madrid), /s/ pronunciation is usually the last speech variable to be adjusted in any process of dialect shift.

 The Castilian reflexes of ABHORRERE/ABHORRESCERE: a case-study in valency
What is more unusual, however, is to find a long continuing period of coexistence, since either one form or the other usually becomes obsolete; I have been able to find very few surviving doublets parallel to aburrir and aborrecer[17].
The second is the predilection of the Ibero-Romance languages for verb-forms which have been 'strengthened' by the inchoative suffix -ESCERE[14], in the light of which the appearance of a form deriving from ABHORRESCERE[15] is not especially remarkable.
The only causative/non-causative relation that is to any extent marked by morphology in the Romance languages is that between a causative and a corresponding intransitive or mediopassive non-causative, eg Castilian cerrar 'to shut', ie 'to cause to shut (intransitive)', cerrarse 'to shut (intransitive)' or 'to get shut (mediopassive)'.

In the late 15th century it became the official language of the unified Kingdom of Spain.
The standard language however evolved in a rather specific way and since the 15th century its users in Central Spain (Castilla Nueva or New Castile) were yet inclined to regard the speech of Old Castile as rustic and archaic.
Castilian arose in the 9th century, when the Basques living in the Cantabrian mountains moved down to occupy the upper river Ebro valley and mixed there with the local Romance population.

 Castilian as Plainsman
Elsewhere in the New World pastoral matters were handled, according to the older tradition, by the town governments, or cabildos.
These meetings, which he sees continuing throughout the Middle Ages, Klein distinguishes carefully from what he regards as their institutional offshoot, celebrated Real Mesta, or national association of Castilian stockmen which Alfonso X founded in the thirteenth century.
Before the mid-twelfth century, significantly enough, the older Temple and San Juan had not fought the infidel in the two western kingdoms of Spain; and it was the two decades of dire Almohade peril that brought into existence all the native orders, whose founding members were nearly all well-blooded in Guadiana Valley fighting.

So, even though Castilian theta is never taken into Basque as a dental fricative, which Basque does not have, Castilian word-final /d/, which is locally a phonetic theta, is taken into Basque as a dental fricative.
Castilian is never borrowed into Basque as a dental fricative, even by speakers who are fully fluent in Castilian.
But today Castilian has a number of acronyms, and some of these acronyms end in the letter D. An example is , which is the Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia.

 Medieval Bestiary : Bibliography Detail
For the moment, it is the medieval Castilian Bestiary; its importance in literary and cultural history is obvious, and the text itself contains readings which would suggest a number of improvements in the text of the original French, as we see it in the extant editions.
"It is often said that the medieval Spanish Bestiary has been lost: no Latin manuscripts of the Physiologus or the Bestiary have so far been found, and there are no surviving manuscripts of any version in Castilian.
Brunetto's magnum opus was extremely popular in medieval Spain, with many surviving Castilian mss; therefore we do, in fact, have a medieval Spanish Bestiary, the text of which is reproduced here.

For a full review of recent films, check your local Catholic diocesan newspaper.
Director Javier Seto does best in staging the clash of medieval armies on the Spanish plains but gets nowhere with the personal problems of the characters (notably Cesar Romero, Broderick Crawford, Fernando Rey and Alida Valli), despite occasional commentary by an earnest troubadour (Frankie Avalon).

 Amazon.com: Video: The Castilian (1963)
Frankie Avalon (!) plays a travelling minstrel who tels the tale of a hero who defeats the Moors in an epic battle with the assistance of two saints with flaming swords.
"The Castilian"'s stylistic earnestness fails to impress and the production values show a depressing cheapness for what was supposed to be such a big movie.
