After the decisive victory at Alarcos, the almohads forces that allied with the Leonese and the Navarrese declared war on Castile and attacked many towns and laid a siege on toledo.[1]
Background
editThe Castilian field army had been destroyed.[2] The outcome of the battle shook the stability of the Kingdom of Castile for several years and all nearby castles surrendered or were abandoned: Malagón, Benavente, Calatrava la Vieja, Caracuel, and Torre de Guadalferza,[3] and the way to Toledo was wide open. The Almohads obtained an alliance with King Alfonso IX of León, who was angry at Alfonso VIII, who didn't wait for him to participate at Alarcos.[4][5][6]
Campaign
editThe Almohads who allied with the Navarrese and the Leonese, declared war on Castile wich was supported by Aragon. Yaqub headed to the city of Toledo, who laid a great siege but failed to capture it. He then moved north and managed to capture Madrid, Guadalajara and Salamanca. It netted 5000 captives.[7][8][9][10]
