Abstract
Most discussions of the restoration of the nunnery of ferreira de panton (lugo) and its affiliation with the Cistercians are based, directly or indirectly, on one diploma dated December 17, 1175. this charter, assumed to be lost, was partially published in volume 3 of the Annales of Angel manrique. In the academic literature, two pillars of the convent’s history rest on this text, widely viewed as a “foundational charter”. In 1175, Countess fronilde fernandez, the charter’s protagonist, restored or re-established the convent. She immediately ceded it to the Cistercian order, placing it under the tutelage of abbot vidal and the monastery of Santa maria de meira, the order’s first house in the diocese of lugo. New documentary evidence now invites us to revisit and revise the familiar account of this foundation’s history
