Note:
!King of Castile (1158-1214); he succeeded to the throne on the death of
his father, Sancho III. Troubled by interference from Navarre in his
youth, he later allied Castile with Aragon, forming a connection that was
eventually to become the basis for the unification of Spain. Alfonso also
established Castilian dominance over Leon. From the 1170's, he was
occupied with resisting encroachments by the Almohads, Muslim invaders
from Northern Africa. Defeated by the Muslim caliph Ykub al-Mansur (c.
1160-99) at Alarcos in 1195, Alfonso and his allies won a major victory
over the Muslim comnmander al-Nasir at Navas de Tolosa in 1212.
