Basques and Banu Qasi defeat Carolingian forces; Íñigo Arista crowned king of Navarre.

In the Battle of Roncevaux Pass, a significant moment in Spain's history, a powerful alliance of Basques and the Banu Qasi dealt a severe blow to a Carolingian military expedition. This victory showcased the fierce resistance of the Basques and their vassals, the Banu Qasi, against external powers seeking to assert control over the region. As a result of this triumph, the Basque chieftain, Íñigo Arista of Pamplona, was crowned as the king of Navarre at Pamplona, solidifying his authority and the independence of the Basque region. #Spain #BattleofRoncevauxPass #Basques #BanuQasi #Carolingian #emirateofCórdoba #Navarre #ÍñigoArista #Pamplona
