At first he had serious clashes with the monks who lived there, but after the royal interposition, which made him abbot, they accepted him.
Nothing remains from this period except, perhaps, a capital or impost currently used as a holy water font in the Monastery Church and part of the remains that were preserved in the frontispiece of the Hermitage of the Holy Cross.
At the end of the mandate of Abbot Marcos, the monastery fell into a deep crisis and was on the verge of disappearing. It was a time of great confusion due to the succession problems of Sancho IV and his son Don Fernando, the Emplazado, taking advantage of those in charge of protecting the monastery (appointed by the king between 1255 and 1297), called encomenderos.[4] At the beginning of the 14th century, the usurpations of its patrimony and rents, especially by the nobility, became of great caliber. The bishop of Astorga admitted the critical situation, which barely allowed the monks to sustain themselves, fearing their disappearance.
