In a symbolic metaphorical reading of Recaredo's official conversion into Catholicism, in 589, it was established, through royal sacralization, an order with a normative and ethics basis. Thus, it was implicit a submission under all supra-natural elements which involved the king; the disobedience to them was also linked to supra-natural elements, but connected to the Christian concept of evil and sin. It was, thus, a disobedience to the divine norms. The creation of the Catholic monarchy of the Visigoth could be fit within what is called refundant origin, as in the face of the precariousness and instability due to the incipient "conversion" called for the ritual gesture or intended to create, with Recaredo, a mythological narrative not established as memory, but which determined a new situation.
KEY WORD: High Middles Ages, sacrality, monarchy, kingdom of Toledo.
