Abstract
Don Alvaro de Luna, at the height of his power, decided to build a funerary chapel in Toledo Cathedral. In relation to this project Pedro Jalopa appears, possibly the same master who some years earlier had directed the construction of Huesca Cathedral under the patronage of Pope Benedict XIII, great-uncle of Don Alvaro. After his work in Toledo, Jalopa was contracted as master builder at Palencia Cathedral. The powerful Luna family and the close relationship between bishoprics may well have influenced the artistic itinerary of Pedro Jalopa during the first half of the 15th century, the period when flamboyant forms were introduced in Castille.
