	Ancestors and Family of Alfonso VI Ferdinandez
		Alfonso was defeated by his brother in two battles; after the defeat at Llantada (1068) he managed to retain his kingdom, but after that at Golpejera (1072) he was captured and exiled, living for a short while at the court of his vassal Ma'mun, the Muslim king of Toledo.

		Alfonso married Agnes of Poitou, daughter of William VIII of Aquitaine and Anne of Perigord, in 1069.

		Alfonso VI, we are told, having returned in haste to Toledo would have burned his queen and primate alive for so compromising him if it had not been for the intercession of the Muslim community which realized tat it would suffer in the long run from such an action.
