Résumé
The female hospitaller commandery of Bargota at the priory of Navarre, initially masculine, had a hospital for pilgrims in the way of Saint James and achieved major expansion at 14th and 15th centuries. This article goes beyond the historical development of this convent so as to focus in its identity as it was reflected in a singular text preserved in AHN. This record was written in the mid-fifteenth century, when Bargota’s community was transferred to the convent of Crucifijo (Puente la Reina) and the story was intentionally reformulated in order to explain the origin and identity of the female community, to highlight certain principles, and also to reinforce a specific memory of it.
