   🚩 Alfonso VI's steady expansion and incorporation of Taifas into his realm provoked a reaction from the Almoravids. Commanded by Yusuf ibn Tashfin, the Almoravid army met Alfonso force near Badajos. A victory for the Christians would break the last significant Muslim resistance and enable complete conquest of Iberia. A victory for the Muslims would stop and reverse the Reconquista.

   Why do you call the European states by their names but the African states by their ruling dynasties? It’s called Morocco, not almoravids. Almoravids are a dynasty not a country.

   Very interesting people often refuse to believe that sub Saharan Africans were in the ranks of many North African Islamic armies, nice to see you pointing out the facts.

   Most definitely very proud of Hispania ancestors in medieval times…..kicking black moors and Muslim Arabs out of Hispania after 800yrs.

   This lose would have never happened under king 👑 Sancho Of Castilla.
   I truly believe he would have conquered all of Hispania.

    Very very nice!!
    As a Spanish I love anything to do with La Reconquista
    Although it is a bit annoying how long it took.

    You should read Sidi by Arturo Perez Reberte, which goes into depth over El CID’s life after splitting from Alfonso and before Valencia with the Taifa of Zaragoza and how he becomes owner of Tizona his famous sword!

    I'm a big fan of history videos, and this one was particularly well-made. The narration was clear and engaging, and the visuals were impressive. I learned a lot about the Battle of Sagrajas, and I'm definitely going to check out your other videos.

    My father told me that in a book from his childhood it was said that this battle (Almoravids) and again later at the battle of Alarcos (Almohads), both delayed the reconquest by 200 years at once each time, according to a math progression of land conquered per year calculated in that book, and reconquest stopped suddenly for decades.
