Recurring episodesof political instability in the 980s-1030s undermined traditional authority and customary socialidentities in the kingdom of Leon, which provided some opportunities for upward mobility. Infanzonestook advantage of this chance for social ascent by redefining themselves as warriors and consolidatingtheir position as local elites throughout the eleventh century, to the point of being finally recognizedas a nobility of blood.
