rdfs:comment
  • The short first Siege of Coria by Alfonso VII of León took place in July 1138, on the heels of a successful razzia (raid) deep into al-Andalus (the Islamic south of Spain). The main source for the siege is the second book of the contemporary Chronica Adefonsi imperatoris. Coria had previously been reconquered just after 1085 by Alfonso VI. It was lost to the Almoravids not long after Alfonso's death in 1109. __TOC__
