Caballero Miniatures - The Reconquista King Alfonso VI (28mm Resin Miniature)
The Reconquista King Alfonso VI (28mm Resin Model)
Era: The Spanish Reconquista 0722 AD - 1492 AD
Details: This set includes 1 Figure and 1 Horse
History: Alfonso VI, King of Castile and León. He had a funny love-hate relationship with El Cid. Probably more hate than love because Rodrigo forced him to swear on a Bible he had nothing to do with his brother King Sancho of Castile's assassination in front of everyone important during his coronation
The Reconquista (Spanish and Portuguese for "reconquest") was a period in the history of the Iberian Peninsula of about 780 years between the Umayyad conquest of Hispania in 711, the expansion of the Christian kingdoms throughout Hispania, and the fall of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada in 1492.
The beginning of the Reconquista is traditionally marked with the Battle of Covadonga (718 or 722), the first known victory in Hispania by Christian military forces since the 711 military invasion undertaken by combined Arab-Berber forces. In that battle, a group led by Hispano-Roman nobleman Pelagius and consisting of Hispano-Visigoth refugees, the remnants of their Hispano-Gothic aristocracy, and mountain tribes, including mainly Astures, Galicians, Cantabri, and Basques, defeated a Muslim army in the mountains of northern Hispania and established the independent Christian Kingdom of Asturias. In the late 10th century, the Umayyad vizier Almanzor waged military campaigns for 30 years to subjugate the northern Christian kingdoms.
