	Chapter 5: A History of Aragon and Catalonia
		Alfonso II was in alliance for many years with Alfonso VIII of Castile; apart from a formal bond of vassalage to Castile acknowledged by Aragon, the two monarchs had certain interests in common.
		Alfonso thus prepared the way for an attack upon Valencia; he twice defeated Moorish armies which invaded the province of Tarragona and finally captured Cuenca; had he not been hampered by the necessity of dealing with incursions from Navarre, he might have been able to push his conquests as far as Valencia itself.
		Alfonso gained a complete victory which placed most of Andalucía in his power and accelerated the internal discord which was beginning to undermine the power of the Almohades.

	Appendix B, Cuenca-Teruel Fueros, Society Organized for War
		Their tradition was a common one, and Alfonso VIII of Castile and Alfonso II of Aragon simply framed a mixture of regional common law and their own frontier policies into municipal codes, both of which were in place by 1196.
		The case for geographic determinism of the sources of the law is strengthen by the situation of Alfonso II (Alfons I) in his Crown of Aragon, by this time a federated combination of the Kingdom of Aragon and the County of Barcelona, to which the County of Provence was added in 1176.
		One can note that Alfonso VIII did free the now extinct town of Arganzón (near Miranda del Ebro) from expeditionary service that did not include a field battle, a reminder that Castilian kings could still couch their military requirements in thoroughly Aragonese phraseology should the region, location and the tradition of a town so require.
