  • On the 16 July of 1212 (15 Safar 609), the Almohad army and the joint army of Castile, Navarre, Aragon and Portugal and volunteers met near the Muslim population of Las Navas de Tolosa. Both armies knew that whoever won this war would be the one who decided if the Reconquista would continue or end there. The Castilian army attacked first. Its army, made up of 14.000 to 12,000 men, against the Almohad army consisting of approximately 22,000–30,000 men. Fighting on a proportion of 2:1, the Castilian army was quickly surrounded and destroyed. Most of the men died, about three hundred were taken as hostages, the Grand Master of the military order of Calatrava died in the initial assault. See Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa. Perhaps the most serious result was the death in the battlefield of Alfonso VIII of Castile. He was the main campaigner, promoter and organizer of this campaign. Taking advantage of their triumph the Almohad army marched on to occupy Calatrava La Vieja ( Qal'at Rabah) and Malagon and years later the siege of Toledo.
