[edit]Shouldn't this article be called "Santa Hermandad"?Acglaphotis (talk) 00:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Twelfth, or Thirteenth Century?
[edit]The article says, "protective municipal leagues began to emerge in the twelfth century". Later, it says, "The hermandad initially began to form in Andalusia in 1265".
Is it possible that "protective municipal leagues" are something different from the hermandad, and that they really did start in the century before the hermandad "initially began to form"?
Or should it say, "protective municipal leagues began to emerge in the thirteenth century"?
I don't have access to the references. Maybe someone can check, please.

FYI
[edit]FYI: In the Walter Starkie translation of Don Quixote there is a footnote on page 103:
Officers of the Holy Brotherhood carried cross-bows and they were permitted to execute caught in the act, and hang their bodies on trees.
All thru Don Quixote Sancho Panza is in fear of meeting a member of the Holy Brotherhood while travelling the roads of Spain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbryant 94560 (talk • contribs) 19:59, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
Greek metal band
[edit]I have inserted the Popular culture section with the reference to the Greek metal band, having removed it from the page on Irmandades da Fala, a Galician nationalist association from the first part of the 20th century. I think the Greek reference is more likely to be about these holy brotherhoods. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the reference itself. Jonur (talk) 06:28, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
On further research, my impression is that this was a frivolous edit by the original writer, so I've deleted it. Jonur (talk) 06:38, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Castillian and Basque ports?
[edit]I find strange this mention, since "Cantabrian and Basque" will be more precise (smaller land to refer to) and more correct (as referring to both its northern cultures)
Like mixing a kingdom and a culture is just weird, if we were to use the historical kingdoms instead of cultures, it should be "Castillian and Navarrese" AmunJazz (talk) 06:47, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Bear in mind that the Spanish region now called Cantabria (and formerly the province of Santander) was once the northernmost part of Old Castile, so Santander, Laredo and Castro Urdiales were "Castilian" ports. Jonur (talk) 15:11, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
