# Nuño Rasura

> Nuño Rasura was one of two legendary judges of Castile, the other being his son-in-law Laín Calvo.

English medievalist Richard A. Fletcher writes that "the legend of the judges has more to tell us of the Castilians' self-image at a later date than of the realities of the ninth century: they liked to think of themselves as sturdy, independent, resourceful, democratic."
