| In 720, the area where Oviedo is now located was still uninhabited. | WIKI |
| Oviedo was established on an uninhabited hillside, with no Visigothic or Roman foundation before it became an Asturian city. | WIKI |
| In 794, Oviedo was sacked and pillaged by Caliph Hisham I in one of his numerous campaigns against the Christian kingdoms. | WIKI |
| "[10] The intention with Oviedo was to shape it into a city similar to that of Visigothic Toledo. | WIKI |

| Oviedo's rich architectural tradition began with King Fruela I (757xe2x80x93768). | WIKI |
| Oviedo owes to a later king, Alfonso II The Chaste (791xe2x80x93842), its establishment as a capital city and ruling seat as a result of the moving of the court from Pravia and the creation of the Pilgrim's Route to Santiago de Compostela, a major event in the history of Oviedo, a church dedicated to The Saviour, the Cathedral of San Salvador, and a royal palace formed the nucleus of Oviedo. | WIKI |

| The most glaring example can be seen in the Liber Testamentorum, which was compiled by Bishop Pelayo de Oviedo in 1109. | WIKI |
| Bishop Pelayo's intent behind this was to try to gain the independence of his see from the archbishop of Toledo or Santiago, as well as to promote Oviedo as a pilgrim destination. | WIKI |
| "[18] It is assumed that Bishop Pelayo never committed forgery for the enjoyment, but primarily to promote the church of Oviedo. | WIKI |
