Rulers of Spain
• Although Muslim forces conquered much of the Iberian Peninsula during the eighth century, several Christian enclaves remained, composed of Visigoths and Franks. These groups developed into new kingdoms, and during the tenth century they began a process of re-conquest. As these kingdoms expanded, two came to dominate: Castile and Aragon.

• Cone hats were traditionally used to shame and humiliate. Similarly, the whole purpose of the Penitent outfit is for the wearers to shame and humble themselves. That’s why they’re called ‘penitents’. Originally, taking part in the procession was an act of repentance and atonement for your sins, so it just made sense to put on clothes that were ‘shameful’.

Close family and male friends embrace.
