Compostella Chronicle (Chronicle from the Compostella History Code) lat. Chronicon ex historiae Compostellanae codice - Latin-written essay on the history of Spain . It comprehensively covers events from the Visigoth invasion of Spain (dated 362) until the death of Queen Urraca on March 8, 1126. According to the substantive features and language, it is assumed that the chronicle was created in Galicia . It includes the history of the Visigoths, the Kingdom of Asturias with an appendix of the list of Oviedo Kings and the regency list of the Asturian monarchy from Pelayo to Alfonso II (brought to 791). For the Leon kingdom, this is one of the oldest historical sources after the Historia silense (1109–1118). For modern historiography, information about the circumstances of the death of Queen Urraki is of great value.
