 Biografia de Alfonso VII el Emperador
Era hijo de doña Urraca (hija de Alfonso VI, que reinó en Castilla entre 1109 y 1126) y de Raimundo de Borgoña.
En cuanto a la Reconquista, Alfonso concibió un plan consistente en hostigar a las poblaciones hispano-musulmanas hasta que se rebelaran contra los almorávides, para situar en el poder a su aliado y vasallo Zafadola; a tal fin, realizó desde 1139 múltiples expediciones de saqueo y de ayuda a sublevaciones locales.
Pero la invasión de los almohades a partir de 1146 desbarató el plan, obligando a Alfonso a fortificar la frontera y a aliarse con el almorávide Ibn Ganiya para organizar la resistencia.
