The Kingdom of Asturias began in 720, with the Visigothic aristocrat Pelagius's 685–737 rebel towards the Muslims who on the time have been occupying most of the Iberian Peninsula.

The ensuing Kingdom of Asturias, placed in an economically bad location of Iberia, become largely overlooked by way of the Muslims. In 720, the area wherein Oviedo is now positioned was nevertheless uninhabited.
