Presentation of Pozuelo de la Orden

The municipality of Pozuelo de la Orden (60 inhabitants in 2014; 2,072 ha; presentation) is located in the northwest of the Province of Valladolid, on the border with the Province of Zamora, 50 km of Valladolid.

Pozuelo de la Orden was first mentioned, as Pouelo de Campos, in a document signed on 17 July 1049 by King of León Ferdinand II. The document recalls that the area was granted to the León cathedral by King Ordoño IV (957-960). Ruined by the Moors, the village was re- established around 1010 by Muño Gudesteo, a vassal of Sancho Garcés, Count of Castile (d. 1017). The village was subsequently transferred to the Knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, maybe in 1116 by Queen Urraca.
The castle of Pozuelo, of which nothing has subsisted, was listed in the Cabreros pact, signed on 7 September 1207 in Burgos between Castile and León. In 1591, Pozuelo counted 600 inhabitants, including 20 low-rank nobles (hidalgos), while villages of similar size used to count only 4, and 4 priests.

The altarpiece of the parish church of Pozuelo de la Orden, subsequently transferred to the St. Isidor collegiate church of León, was for long credited to the "Master of Pozuelo de la Orden", indeed a group of painters based in Toro (aka "Master of Toro"). Jesús María Parrado del Olmo (Andrés de Melgar en el retablo de Pozuelo de la Orden : las relaciones entre pintores en el medio castellano del primer tercio del siglo XVI, Boletín del Seminario de Estudios de Arte y Arqueologí:a, 1998, 64) has provided evidence that the work was painted in 1528-1531 by Lorenzo de Ávila, Antonio Vázquez and Andrés de Melgar, with the probable input of Giralte de Bruselas for the sculpted ornaments.
