During his reign, the Visigoths of Spain converted, but he also faced conflict with the See of Constantinople over the adoption of the title of " Ecumenical Patriarch ," which Pelagius believed to undermine the authority of the papacy.

The period sees the slow emergence of orthodoxy ( the idea of which seems to emerge out of the conflicts between catholic Christianity and Gnostic Christianity ), the establishment of a Biblical canon, debates about the doctrine of the Trinity ( most notably between the councils of Nicaea in 325 and Constantinople in 381 ), about Christology ( most notably between the councils of Constantinople in 381 and Chalcedon in 451 ), about the purity of the Church ( for instance in the debates surrounding the Donatists ), and about grace, free will and predestination ( for instance in the debate between Augustine of Hippo and Pelagius ).

The latter was brought here from Constantinople by Pope Pelagius II when he restored the church.

In a minor battle known as the Battle of Covadonga, a Muslim force sent to put down the Christians rebels in the northern mountains was defeated by Pelagius of Asturias, who established the monarchy of the Christian Kingdom of Asturias.

One heresy, Pelagianism, was originated by a British monk teaching in Rome: Pelagius lived c. 354 to c. 420 / 440.

Pelagius was opposed by Saint Augustine, one of the most influential early Church Fathers.

When Pelagius taught that moral perfection was attainable in this life without the assistance of divine grace through human free will, Saint Augustine contradicted this by saying that perfection was impossible without grace because we are born sinners with a sinful heart and will.

The kingdom was established by a nobleman, Pelagius ( Pelayo ), who had returned to his country after the Battle of Guadalete in 711 where he was elected leader of the Asturians and founded the Kingdom of Asturias.

Christian political forces then accused Abd-ar-Rahman III of pederasty with a Christian boy who was later canonized Saint Pelagius of Cordova for his refusal of Abd-ar-Rahman's advances.

Gothic identity survived the fall of the kingdom, however, especially in Marca Hispanica and the Kingdom of Asturias, which was founded by the Visigothic nobleman Pelagius after his victory over the Moors at the Battle of Covadonga.

Pelagius (; c. 685 – 737 ) was a Visigothic nobleman who founded the Kingdom of Asturias, ruling it from 718 until his death.

Pelagius was a Visigoth nobleman, the son of Fafila.

The Chronicle of Alfonso III calls Pelagius a grandson of Chindasuinth and says that his father was blinded in Córdoba, again at the instigation of Wittiza.

That Munuza's seat was at Gijón or León is sufficient to demonstrate that the Arabs had established their rule in the Asturias and that Pelagius was not therefore the leader of a local resistance to Arab conquest.

Rather, Pelagius may have come to terms with the Arab elite whereby he was permitted to govern locally in the manner of the previous Visigoths, as is known to have occurred between Arab rulers and Visigothic noblemen elsewhere, as in the case of Theudimer.

Pelagius reigned for eighteen or nineteen years until his death in 737, when he was succeeded by his son Fafila.

Pelagius was not always able to keep the Muslims out of Asturias, but neither could they defeat him, and as soon as the Muslims left, he would always re-establish control.

Pelagius never attempted to force the issue, and it was a Umayyad defeat elsewhere that probably set the stage for the Battle of Covadonga.

Pelagius and his force retreated deep into the mountains of Asturias, eventually retiring into a narrow valley flanked by mountains, which was easily defensible due to the impossibility of launching a broad-fronted attack.

Again Pelagius won, and Munuza was killed in the fighting.

The Kingdom of Asturias () was a Kingdom in the Iberian peninsula founded in 718 by Visigothic nobles under the leadership of Pelagius of Asturias.
