It was marked by the enhancement of royal administration, an increased papal intervention in the affairs of the peninsular church, and the development of the church's territorial structure.\u003cbr\u003e With the publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Kingdom of Leon-Castilla Under King Alfonso VII, 1126-1157\u003c\/i\u003e, Bernard Reilly completes a detailed, three-part history of the largest of the Christian states of the Iberian peninsula from the mid-eleventh through the mid-twelfth century.
