Kingdom of Leon Socks
Kingdom of Leon Socks
Inspired by the rich legacy of the medieval Kingdom of León, these elegant white socks with the purple lion of the Kingdom, evoke the grandeur and resilience of this historic Iberian realm.
Emerging in the 9th century, León became a prominent center for the Reconquista and was key in resisting Moorish control over the peninsula. León's legacy includes significant cultural contributions, especially under Alfonso VI (1040–1109), who conquered Toledo in 1085, along with other monarchs who strengthened the kingdom and left architectural marvels such as the León Cathedral and San Isidoro, where Europe’s first parliamentary Cortes met in 1188.
These socks serve as a tribute to León’s proud heritage, symbolizing both strength and elegance with the purple lion, a regal emblem deeply rooted in Spanish medieval history.
