Summary

Newly analyzed documents from León Cathedral's archive challenge traditional chronologies, suggesting that the monumental Gothic sculpture work began earlier than previously thought—likely before 1242. This revision pushes back the start of the cathedral's construction to the first half of the 13th century, potentially predating the death of Bishop Martín Rodríguez. The study relies on archival research and re-evaluation of existing historical records to refine our understanding of the cathedral's origins.
