I am searching for interesting docuмents and even short reads on medieval ecclesiastic history, particulary Iberian history

• , unequivocally rejects politically correct Islamophilia, and names Islamophile names when he points out the flaws in politically corrected Islamic "history".  When objective, such history describes the oppressive environment that the Church (and other culture) of the medieval Iberians (Hispano-Roman & Visigothic in varying mixtures), were faced with surviving once the Islamic invasion began.

  The Muslim conquest of the Spanish Visigoth kingdom during the early years of the eighth century interrupted the process of cultural and ethnic fusion of Hispano Romans and Visigoths, and therefore the emergence of a new Catholic Hispano-Visigoth civilization.[1] But Islam’s destruction of Hispano-Visigoth Spain and of its lingering heritage (the “Mozarabs”) is often glossed over by today’s historians, in contrast to the abundant condemnations they bestow on the Christian West’s treatment of “Third World” peoples. Catholic Hispano-Visigoth civilization is caught between the double neglect of those who see the Muslim invasion as bringing enlightenment to a cultural wasteland—the European “Dark Ages”—and those who counter this false belief by insisting on how much more civilized were the indigenous Hispano-Romans compared to the “barbaric” Visigoths.  Never mind that the so-called European Dark Ages were less dark than is usually proclaimed,[2] and certainly quite enlightened when compared to Muslim culture prior to the Arabs’ conquest of the Middle East and North African provinces of the Greek Orthodox Roman Empire (“Byzantine”) in the seventh and eighth centuries; or that the Germanic, or perhaps Baltic, Visigoths were the most Romanized of the nations that took over the Latin Roman Empire;[3] or that Visigoth leaders knew Latin, after generations of service to Rome; or that Visigoth law was no more “brutal” than medieval Islamic sharia; or that Visigoth women enjoyed a political and social freedom impossible under Islam and that, in fact, the Visigoths had several women monarchs.[4]
  
  Contrary to what some historians teach today, the Muslim invasion of Spain in the eighth century differed qualitatively from that of the Visigoths in the fifth century. [....]

  Strong recommendation: Read his footnotes; there's a lot of useful information and naming of Islamophile names in them.
