مملكة أستورياس
The gradual formation of Asturian identity led to the creation of the Kingdom of Asturias after Pelagius' coronation and the victory over the Muslim garrisons in Covadonga in the early 8th century. The "Chronica Albeldense", in narrating the happenings of Covadonga, stated that "Divine providence brings forth the King of Asturias".
