	Alfonso VI of Castile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alfonso VI (before June 1040 - July 1, 1109), nicknamed the Brave, was king of León from 1065 to 1109 and king of Castile since 1072 after his brother's death.
		As the second and favorite son of King Ferdinand I of Castile, Alfonso was alloted Castile, while Leon was given to the eldest son Sancho, and Galicia to the youngest brother Garcia.
		When every allowance is made, Alfonso VI stands out as a strong man fighting as a king whose interest was law and order, and who was the leader of the nation in the reconquest.

	History of Spain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sancho's death in 1072 meant that Alfonso VI had the superior claim, and he returned to power, once again in command of all of Fernando I's domains.
		Alfonso was an impressive leader as well, and did much to improve his realm to become one of Christian Europe's foremost monarchies, tolerating Muslims to an extent remarkable for his time.
		On the death of Alfonso VII, León and Castilla were again divided, although the division was not permanent: Alfonso IX's son Fernando by Berenguela of Castilla, united the two realms on his accession to Leon in 1230.

	Chapter 7:The Kingdom of León-Castilla under King Alfonso VI
		The position of Alfonso VI's army a dozen kilometers west of the city of Toledo in early April, then, is best understood as constituting a blocking force that would disrupt communication and reinforcement between al-Mutawakkil in Toledo and the latter's permanent seat of power in Badajoz.
		Alfonso's garrisons already occupied the fortresses of Zorita to the east of the city and Canturias to the west.
		But even when Alfonso VI began to think in terms of the ultimate occupation of the city and taifa of Toledo, he understood that the real problem would not be its immediate conquest.

	Chapter 18: The Kingdom of León-Castilla Under King Alfonso VI
		Clearly Alfonso VI was the beneficiary of the collapse of the caliphate at Córdoba after 1008 and the continuing political disarray of Spanish Islam.
		Alfonso would have been conscious of the increasing throngs of French and Germans crossing the northern meseta on their way to the church of the apostle and doubtless approved of it in a general way as an acceptable form of piety.
		See Mackay and Benaboud, "Alfonso VI of León and Castile." It seems to me that the weakness of the case that portrays the Leonese monarch as intending an immediate overlordship of all of Spanish Islam is that it rests exclusively on the testimony of his enemies.
