The burials of monarchs of the kingdom of Castile show us how the kings expected to leave signs of their power even in death. Through careful study and comparison of funerary objects of Alfonso X and Sancho IV of Castile, we will raise a hypothesis, which confirms the existence of the same ideological model in both monarchs. To achieve this, will pay attention to the elements of power with that they demand to entomb themselves that are intended to be symbols of royal ideology. It will be seen how in the funerary areas of the powerful, the monarchical aspirations tend to increase his fortitude as a weapon and as political propaganda, always relying on religiosity for argue their power.
