Individual:
Called The Wise. His reign was turbulent, marked by fighting with the
Moors, a series of civil wars, and an extended but unsuccessful attempt on
his part to gain the crown of the Holy Roman Empire. He was deposed in
1282, after an insurrection led by his son Sancho IV, and died a fugitive.
Alfonso promulgated the law code known as Las Siete Partidas (The Seven
Parts). Himself a poet and author, he greatly stimulated the intellectual
life of his time. A famous set of planetary tables, still known as the
Alphonsine Tables, was prepared under his direction in 1252.
