Battle of Sagrajas, 1086 - An ambush that almost stopped the Reconquista

🚩 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.#AncientWeapons
