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. 🚩 Support HistoryMarche on Patreon and get ad-free early access to our videos for as little as $1:   / historymarche   🚩 Big thanks to Srpske Bitke for their collaboration on this video:    / @srpskebitke   📢 Narrated by David McCallion 📝 Research and writing: Damien Peters 📚 Sources: Abd al-Wahid al Marrakushi - Account of the Battle of Zallaca, taken from “Christians and Moors in Spain” - Retrieved from https://deremilitari.org/2013/11/the-...
