According to Leonar Liggio (Atlas Research, USA, paleo-libertarian), reforms spread from the Cluniac Abbeys along the Camino de Santiago. There were important traditions of local wisdom, freedom and prosperity in the area, as commoners had been given freedom by “French” aristocrats to own land in the Spanish March, a military buffer zone between the Pyrenees and Moorish lands to the south. Because it was a frontier, centralized religious and political institutions had little influence, so local traditions lourished. Later, the Spanish peasants, unlike the people of the supposedly “advanced” cultures of Europe, were able to bleed and drive out Napoleon’s invading armies with guerrilla warfare, becoming the first “Liberales”.
