The Leonese Region was composed of the provinces of Le\u00f3n, Salamanca and Zamora.Until 1833, the independently administered Kingdom of Le\u00f3n, situated in the northwest region of the Iberian Peninsula, retained the status of a kingdom, although dynastic union had brought it into the Crown of Castile. The Kingdom of Le\u00f3n was founded in 910 A.D. when the Christian princes of Asturias along the northern coast of the peninsula shifted their main seat from Oviedo to the city of Le\u00f3n. The Atlantic provinces became the Kingdom of Portugal in 1139.The eastern, inland part of the kingdom was joined dynastically to the Kingdom of Castile first in 1037\u20131065, again 1077\u20131109 and 1126\u20131157, 1230\u20131296 and from 1301 onward. (See Castile and Le\u00f3n#Historic union of the Kingdoms of Castile and Le\u00f3n.) Le\u00f3n retained the status of a kingdom until 1833, being composed by Adelantamientos Mayores, where Leonese Adelantamiento consisted of the territories between the Picos de Europa and the Duero River.According to UNESCO, in 1188 the Kingdom of Le\u00f3n developed the first Parliament in Europe.[1][2] In 1202 its parliament approved economic legislation to regulate trade and guilds.Population[edit]The historical population is given in the following chart:Languages[edit]The Provincial Government of Le\u00f3n signed accords with language associations for promoting the Leonese language.[citation needed] Leonese is taught in the city of Le\u00f3n, Mansilla de las Mulas, La Ba\u00f1eza, Valencia de Don Juan or Ponferrada for adult people, and in sixteen schools of Le\u00f3n.[citation needed] The City Council of Le\u00f3n writes some of its announcements in Leonese in order to promote the language.[citation needed]In the western part of the El Bierzo, the westernmost region of the province, Galician language is spoken and taught at schools.[citation needed]Climate[edit]  As for the temperatures, in general it is a cold climate due to the altitude and the abundance of frost (which persist from November to May), being more intense in the mountainous areas reaching -18\u00a0\u00b0C. Vega de Liordes, an enclave in the Le\u00f3n sector of Picos de Europa belonging to the municipality of Posada de Valde\u00f3n registered \u221235.8\u00a0\u00b0C (\u221232.4\u00a0\u00b0F) on January 7, 2021.[3][4]Cuisine[edit]EmbutidosCecina de Le\u00f3n: from beef. In the Leonese language, cecina means “meat that has been salted and dried by means of air, sun or smoke”. Cecina de Le\u00f3n is made of the hind legs of beef, salted, smoked and air-dried in the province of Le\u00f3n, and has PGI status.Botillo: from pig. Traditionally made in the western Leonese regions, botiellu in Leonese or botelo in Galician, is a dish of meat-stuffed pork intestine. It is a culinary specialty of the county of El Bierzo and also of the region of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes in Portugal. This type of embutido is a meat product made from different pieces left over from the butchering of a pig, including the ribs, tail, and bones with a little meat left on them. These are chopped; seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and other spices; stuffed in the cecum of the pig; and partly cured via smoking. It can also include the pig’s tongue, shoulder blade, jaw, and backbone, but never exceeding 20% of the total volume. It is normally consumed cooked, covered with a sheet. It also has a PGI status.CheeseQueso de Valde\u00f3n (Valde\u00f3n cheese): a blue cheese produced in Posada de Valdeon, traditionally wrapped in chestnut or sycamore maple leaves before being sent to market.WinesBierzo: in the west of the Province of Le\u00f3n and covers about 3,000\u00a0km2.
