Summary: In the intellectual construction of the Catholic Monarchy, in order to confirm its theories and strengthen its defences against Protestant positions, the Church of Modernity promoted the cause of some contemporary reformers such as St. Teresa of Jesus and St. Ignatius of Loyola, canonized in 1622. The pursuit of the Catholic project also demanded some models of heroic virtue among the sovereigns of the Middle Ages who would illuminate, with their example and intercession, the political reality of sixteenth-century Spain. Among these monarchs was King Saint Ferdinand III of Castile and Leon (1201-1252), whose fame had remained almost unchanged since the middle of the thirteenth century. This research work tries to situate the canonical process of the cause initiated in Seville at the start of the seventeenth century. In particular, it presents the interrogation that was used, according to the decrees of Urban VIII (1623-1644), to confirm the immemorial devotion of the Castilian monarch. The process concluded with the decree of equipollent canonization by Pope Clement X in 1671.
