It should be "Iberia", not "Spain",
By
This review is from: Early Medieval Spain (New Studies in Medieval History) (Paperback)
Although I found the book very useful and reliable for research of early medieval Iberia, I must emphasize the following: The use of "Spain" to indicate the Iberian Peninsula (and vice-versa) is not correct since in our times it refers only to one of the countries located there. Living in the Iberian Peninsula throughout the whole timespan covered by this book there were NOT ONLY the ancestors of the Spanish but also of the Portuguese people. Everybody knows (and obviously also the authors of the book) that until the XV century there was NOT a single country named "Spain" (just a series of kingdoms which would unite under such name)! Even Portugal, one of the oldest countries in Europe still mantaining its original borders, was not a independent country until the XII century, just three centuries before Spain...
