This article reviews the most recent historiography of Christian Iberia in the tenth century. The work is divided into three major political areas of that period: the Northwest, the counties of the Hispanic March, and the Kingdom of Pamplona and Pyrenean valleys. Each has specific historiographical patterns that underline the diversity that characterised Christian political areas in this century. However, this also reflects the coexistence of different historiographical traditions that do not always dialogue with one another. This study highlights the relevance of Social History after the profound renewal of Spanish medievalism in the last third of the twentieth century. Thanks to this renewal, the old repopulation-reconquest binomial that tyrannised the view of the past had been abandoned despite its permanent success in popular visions, particularly those coming from the populist ultra-right. Finally, it advocated a transregional and European vision that allowed different peninsular experiences to be understood in a broader context, breaking with the self-absorption that sometimes affects historiographical traditions.
