The Iberian Peninsula was at the forefront of the religious, economic, and political changes that swept across Europe during the Medieval Period, including the expansion of Christianity following the disintegration of the Umayyad Caliphate. Between the 9th and the 13th centuries CE, northern Iberia, in particular, witnessed a marked demographic and economic expansion that accompanied the emergence and development of different Christian Kingdoms. A growth in religious infrastructure driven by territorial expansion at the expense of Al-Andalus, and the emerging importance of the Camino de Santiago (the Way of St. James) from the 11th century CE, represented vital processes in changing urban networks and social stratification. However, shifting diets and social structures brought about by these changes require direct study beyond historical texts or localised osteoarchaeological and biomolecular studies in order to determine their wider impacts on peoples’ lived experience. Here, we apply radiocarbon dating (n = 6) and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis to bone and dentine collagen from various locations (n = 10) across the north and north-eastern areas of modern Spain, where three prominent Medieval Christian Kingdoms (Aragon, Castille and Navarre) developed. We sampled 40 human and 32 faunal remains dating to between the 9th and 13th centuries CE, including historical personages such as Sancho Ramirez, Count of Ribagorza and an illegitimate son of King Ramiro I of Aragon; Saint Raymond William or San Ramón de Roda; Pedro de Librana, the first bishop of the city of Zaragoza after its conquest by the Christians in the 12th century CE; an unknown princess from the royal house of Aragon; and individuals from the urban and rural nuclei of Pamplona, Logroño, Lobera de Onsella (Zaragoza), and San Roque de las Quintanillas (Burgos). We compared our results to existing data from the same area demonstrating clear differences in access to animal protein and marine/freshwater resources between rural, urban, and high social status populations on a regional scale. Our data show significant differences in δ15N values between the different groups, with the highest values seen among the ‘elite’, followed by urban populations who benefited from trade and socio-economic diversity. This dataset acts as an important reference point for future studies focusing on changes in the diet and health among different sectors of Medieval society and, in particular, the development of social inequality in the Christian Kingdoms of Iberia as they formed at the centre of novel cultural and religious exchanges across Europe.

中世纪基督教西班牙北部(公元 9 至 13 世纪)的稳定同位素分析以及饮食和社会地位的差异

中世纪时期,伊比利亚半岛处于席卷欧洲的宗教、经济和政治变革的前沿,包括在倭马亚哈里发国解体后基督教的扩张。在公元 9 世纪和 13 世纪之间,尤其是伊比利亚北部,随着不同基督教王国的出现和发展,人口和经济显着扩张。以牺牲安达卢斯为代价的领土扩张推动宗教基础设施的增长,以及圣地亚哥卡米诺的重要性(圣詹姆斯之路)来自公元 11 世纪,代表了改变城市网络和社会分层的重要过程。然而,这些变化带来的饮食和社会结构的转变需要超越历史文本或局部骨考古学和生物分子研究的直接研究,以确定它们对人们生活经历的更广泛影响。在这里,我们对现代西班牙北部和东北部地区(三个著名的中世纪基督教王国)的不同位置(n = 10)的骨骼和牙本质胶原蛋白应用放射性碳测年(n = 6)和稳定的碳和氮同位素分析(阿拉贡、卡斯蒂利亚和纳瓦拉)发展起来。我们采样了公元 9 世纪至 13 世纪之间的 40 件人类遗骸和 32 件动物遗骸,其中包括桑乔·拉米雷斯 (Sancho Ramirez)、Ribagorza 伯爵和阿拉贡国王拉米罗一世的私生子;圣雷蒙德威廉或圣拉蒙德罗达;Pedro de Librana,公元12世纪被基督徒征服后,萨拉戈萨市的第一位主教;阿拉贡王室不知名的公主;以及来自潘普洛纳、洛格罗尼奥、洛贝拉德翁塞拉(萨拉戈萨)和圣罗克德拉斯金塔尼亚斯(布尔戈斯)城市和农村核心区的个人。我们将我们的结果与来自同一地区的现有数据进行了比较,表明在区域范围内农村、城市和社会地位高的人群在获取动物蛋白和海洋/淡水资源方面存在明显差异。我们的数据显示 δ 有显着差异 公元 12 世纪被基督徒征服后,萨拉戈萨市的第一位主教;阿拉贡王室不知名的公主;以及来自潘普洛纳、洛格罗尼奥、洛贝拉德翁塞拉(萨拉戈萨)和圣罗克德拉斯金塔尼亚斯(布尔戈斯)城市和农村核心区的个人。我们将我们的结果与来自同一地区的现有数据进行了比较,表明在区域范围内农村、城市和社会地位高的人群在获取动物蛋白和海洋/淡水资源方面存在明显差异。我们的数据显示 δ 有显着差异 公元 12 世纪被基督徒征服后,萨拉戈萨市的第一位主教;阿拉贡王室不知名的公主;以及来自潘普洛纳、洛格罗尼奥、洛贝拉德翁塞拉(萨拉戈萨)和圣罗克德拉斯金塔尼亚斯(布尔戈斯)城市和农村核心区的个人。我们将我们的结果与来自同一地区的现有数据进行了比较,表明在区域范围内农村、城市和社会地位高的人群在获取动物蛋白和海洋/淡水资源方面存在明显差异。我们的数据显示 δ 有显着差异 我们将我们的结果与来自同一地区的现有数据进行了比较,表明在区域范围内农村、城市和社会地位高的人群在获取动物蛋白和海洋/淡水资源方面存在明显差异。我们的数据显示 δ 有显着差异 我们将我们的结果与来自同一地区的现有数据进行了比较,表明在区域范围内农村、城市和社会地位高的人群在获取动物蛋白和海洋/淡水资源方面存在明显差异。我们的数据显示 δ 有显着差异15不同群体之间的 N 值,“精英”中的值最高,其次是受益于贸易和社会经济多样性的城市人口。该数据集作为未来研究的重要参考点,重点关注中世纪社会不同部门的饮食和健康变化,特别是伊比利亚基督教王国的社会不平等发展,因为它们是新文化的中心。以及欧洲各地的宗教交流。
