On October 23, 1086, the Almoravid forces, after a plea for help from, accompanied by approximately 10,000 Andalusian fighters from local Muslim provinces, decisively checked the Reconquista, significantly outnumbering the largest Christian army ever assembled up to that point and defeating them. However, due to significant losses of their own were unable to take advantage and press forward immediately following the victory

 

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.
