This paper presents a review on some of the concepts traditionally developed by History and Literary Criticism regarding the very conception of the Middle Ages in the Iberian Peninsula, focusing on the political, social and cultural relations that took place between the cultures during this period, in particular, the troubled relations between Islam and Christianity. Based on the classic works of Américo Castro, regarding the history of Spain (2004) and with Maravall's (1954) proposals, it seeks to demonstrate the theory of a not only cultural, but, above all, social and political coexistence between cultures that populated the Peninsula, which opened up the possibility of a tangible influence on literary manifestations of the time, with the subsequent intertextuality. Arab culture also received an undoubted influence from the East, which made that romance literature have another source of inspiration. The medieval peninsular creator was responsible for the task of adapting these references to the spatiotemporal reality of their contemporaneity, especially in the scope of religiousness.
