Abstract


The objective of this paper is the revision of the ways for those the Order of Císter in the Kingdoms of Castile and Leon was spread. With this purpose, a study of its promoters, and how the more important related with the Traba’s group are found, has been made. From this analysis it is deduced that the devotion to the new order was transmitted fundamentally through the aristocratic family nets. In adition, a new perspective to approach the knowledge of the medieval monasteries as conservatives of the family memoirs and the paper carried out by the noble women from Castile and Leon in this complex manorial net is proposed.
