The Estoria de los Godos is a Spanish or Aragonese version of the Historia de rebus Hispaniae (1243) by Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada. It was written in 1252/3 by an author related to the Lord of Albarracín Pedro Fernández de Azagra, in whose environment could be composed. It is the first history of Spain derived from the Toledano written in the vernacular language, and precedes, in this sense, the Estoria de España alfonsí.
The variations with respect to the history of the Toledano show the author's interest in the history of Aragon and the figure of Jaime I the Conqueror, showing his favoritism by the infante Alfonso, who would die before his father and did not arrive, therefore, to inherit. On the other hand, there is little interest in the history of the kingdom of Castile. He also used other sources not present in the history of the archbishop of Toledo, as materials from legends about the sons of Sancho Garcés III of Pamplona, the Chronicle of the Moor Rasis (that is, the Ajbar muluk al-Andalus of Al-Razi) and the Book of the generations and lineages of the kings or Liber regum. It also helps to clarify the evolution of medieval historiography written in Aragon: the Chronicle of the peninsular states or Aragonese Chronicle of 1305 and the Chronicle of San Juan de la Peña (written in its Latin writing about 1342).
