The footprint of the Count of "Cerragería" in Leon

In the sixteenth century the Chapter of the Cathedral commissioned the retrochoir. Then in mid eighteenth century, the choir changed its original location of the sanctuary to the area currently occupied.

To achieve the necessary gathering of its occupants during the services, the arch of retrochoir hollow was covered with large wooden doors.

In the summer of 1912 the third Earl of Cerragería Don José Manuel de Cerragería and Cabanillas, accompanied by his mother, Doña Antonia de Cabanilles and visited the city Federici Lion. In his tour of the city and enter the cathedral were struck by its luminosity and spaciousness. But he also saw something that remained part of the light and openness. He realized that the doors that closed the choir as well as being unsightly could not see the nave in all its glory.

So I proposed to the council to replace wooden doors with a glass, paid for it. The solution adopted was to divide the surface of the hole in three parts, according to the scheme had: a fixed covering the arch and two sliding doors that open do crawling sideways on a track so that once opened are hidden between the wall of retrochoir and choir stalls.

In addition, to protect them there was a gate in the gilt bronze designed by Manuel de Cardenas and the priest materialized Spaniard Felix Granda .

The balustrade to a height of one meter and a half and five meters wide, consists of two doors that open outward and have the upper ends of San Marcelo figures leaning on the arms of Leon and San Isidoro that makes the family crest Cerragería. In the middle is the coat of José Alvarez and Miranda, Bishop of Leon in those years.

San Marcelo

San Isidoro

Also, traveling across its width are two Latin texts taken from the verse 7 of Psalm 23 and verse 2 of Psalm 86 of the Book of Psalms: " ATTOLLITE PORTAS, PRINCES, Vestra, ET ELEVAMINI Portão Aeternal - DOMINUS Diligite PORTAS JACOB ZION TABERNACLE SUPER OMNIA.

On the sides, below the figures of San Marco and San Isidoro, there are two inserts in the referred inter alia to date, the architect and the generous donor of the work.

In late July of 1915 work began on the installation of the windows and the fence in place, inaugurated the work on August 15, 1915, Feast of the Assumption. That day was held in the cloister of the cathedral ceremony of the forum or offer and at the end of it all the civil and religious authorities entered the cathedral and walking the aisle, stopped in front of the new fence where the bishop blessed. Then opened and the whole procession agreed to the nave and the altar through it.

Currently only open those doors when celebrating a wedding at the cathedral, and is made exclusively for passing the wedding entourage. (If anyone is particularly interested in going through them, you know ...)

The mummy naked

La Doña Sancha of dealing with this post is that she was the daughter of Queen Urraca and Count Don Raimundo of Burgundy and sister Emperor Alfonso VII. He was born in 1102 and claimed to be very young wife (spiritual, of course) of San Isidoro. According to Lucas de Tuy account until the Santo appeared on one occasion: " ... happened that one day was ecstatic trances and raised on their natural sense, and saw the heavens opened and the great Doctor San Isidoro, their husband, very shining clear and bright, ... "

The Infanta Doña Sancha died in the year 1159 and as it was for members of the royal family, was buried in the Royal Pantheon, which was then known as the Capilla de Santa Catalina or Chapel of the Kings.

Royal Pantheon engraving published in 1855

The arrival of Napoleon's troops in 1809 to Leon brought destruction, theft, rapine. The French transformed the church of San Isidoro in stock and the Royal Pantheon in stables. Graves used as troughs and stalls for horses and it took the wreckage was inside and huddled in a corner. Seeing this tremendous desecration, the canons of the collegiate managed to rescue them, taking them to the church of Santa Marina. All except Sancha's mummy, which moved into a home, perhaps with the aim of which was more protected.

By withdrawing the French all the remains were returned to the coffins that were in the Royal Pantheon, but this work was done haphazardly, and all the bones except scrambled Mummy Sancha, which covered only placed a piece of damask in a separate unmarked coffin that gourd.

Elizabeth II at age 27

So were the Pantheon and Infanta, until in 1858 the Queen Elizabeth II, with only 28 years old, with her husband and the future King Alfonso XII still in arms, visited León. In his tour of the city one of the places he visited was the Church of San Isidoro and Royal Pantheon enter and see what state was the Infanta, he promised that once back in Madrid, would send a gold brocade robe, of which he used in the ceremonies of the Court to Sancha's mummy is covered with a dignified manner.

At last the Queen sent as promised and in April of 1867 gathered at the cemetery the Civil Governor of the province, Governor Military Bishop, the mayor of the city and the canons of the Collegiate and other authorities, and put the body of the princess in a walnut and glass urn made for this ceremony, and there was dressed in royal robes, carrying after the transfer of the urn to the church, where the princess was exposed.

Royal Pantheon today

In September 1868 the revolution known as "La Gloriosa" overthrew the queen. For Leon one of the immediate consequences was the replacement of the Civil Governor by one sympathetic to the cause: Don Thomas Aquinas Arderius.

From here there are several versions about the fate of the royal mantle which covered the mummy of the Infanta Doña Sancha.

Don Julio Pérez Llamazares, Abbot of the Abbey in 1954, has an article published that year, one of the new Civil Governor visits to monuments and buildings of the city, went to the Collegiate San Isidro, which was accompanied by his wife. Apparently they saw something they liked and the next day, the Governor sent word to the City Council to lend him the mantle of cloth of gold that covered Sancha as his wife wanted to be an equal. That was the last time the mantle was seen.

Mummy Sancha after the visit of the Governor Civil

Another version says that in January 1869, our great Civil Governor was presented at the Collegiate accompanied by the Guard Civil and seized the mantle in addition to the chest of the Beatitudes and other items, destined to the National Archaeological Museum newly created by the new government.

Out out one way or another, the fact is that poor Mrs. Sancha was again naked and in such a situation the council decided that his remains will return back to the sarcophagus of the Royal Pantheon, taking over the mahogany and glass urn the Museo Provincial de León .

Infanta Doña Sancha in 1997

Epilogue. In February 1997, they opened the sarcophagus for an anthropological study of the remains that there are deposited from study sought to determine the identity of those who stood buried up to their diet. For this study, all debris deposited the Royal Pantheon moved to a laboratory that was installed in the same collegiate units for analysis. Among these remains, archaeologists also found four mummified corpses (one of the Infanta Doña Sancha), human bones, ashes, paper scraps, horse manure, plant remains, animal bones, etc.

Ten years later in charge of the investigation Copies of the study presented to the Junta de Castilla y León and the Town Hall (co-financed research entities) with the following conclusion: "Although one the most ambitious that were tried in this project was to reassign the names of royal personages buried there with the bones found, the poor state of osteological material and the lack of specific evidence of a personal nature has thwarted the attempt.
