The 12th-century Historia Compostelana commissioned by bishop Diego Gelmírez provides an outline of the legend of St. James because it was believed at Compostela at that point2 propositions square measure central to it: 1st, that St. James preached the gospel in the European nationadditionally as within the Holy Land; second, that when his martyrdom at the hands of male monarch Agrippa, his disciples carried his body by ocean to Iberiawherever they landed at Padrón on the coast of geographic region, then took it upcountry for burial at Santiago Diamond StateCompostela.
