In 1119, Alfonso the Battler, the King of Aragon, achieved a significant military milestone in Spain. He successfully conquered multiple territories from the Almoravid dynasty, including Cervera, Tudejen, Castellón, Tarazona, Ágreda, Magallón, Borja, Zaragoza, Alagón, Novillas, Mallén, Rueda, Valladolid, and Épila. This conquest not only expanded Alfonso's realm but also strengthened his influence in the region. The victories marked a turning point in the Reconquista, the series of campaigns to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule. Alfonso's achievements demonstrated his military prowess and his determination to unite Christian territories under his rule. This moment is seen as a major step towards establishing the Kingdom of Aragon as a dominant power in Spain. #Aragon #AlfonsoTheBattler #Reconquista #Conquest #MedievalSpain
