	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Castile and Aragon
		Alfonso X, "The Wise" (el Sabio), was too much taken up with his vain pretensions to the imperial crown of Germany, Sancho the Brave (1248-95) and Ferdinand IV, "The Cited" (el Emplazado), with their domestic struggles.
		Alfonso XI (1310-50) in the battle of Salado annihilated the last of the Mussulmans who attempted the reconquest of Spain.
		Aragonese nobles occupied the reigns of Alfonso III (1285-91), Jaime II, Alfonso IV (1327-36), and Pedro IV (1336-87).

	Alfonso X of Castile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alfonso was the eldest son of Ferdinand III of Castile and Isabella of Swabia.
		Alfonso's second son, Sancho, claimed to be the new heir, in preference to the children of Ferdinand de la Cerda, basing his claim on an old Castilian custom, that of proximity of blood and agnatic seniority.
		In 1246, Alfonso X married Violante of Aragon, the daughter of King James I of Aragon and Yolande of Hungary.

	El Cid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born of the Spanish nobility and nicknamed El Cid Campeador, Rodrigo Díaz was educated in the royal court of the Kingdom of Castile and became an important general and administrator, fighting against the Moors in the early Reconquista.
		After defeating Sancho's brother Alfonso at Llantada on the Leonese-Castilian border in 1068 and Golpejera over the Carrión River in 1072, Sancho and the Cid forced Alfonso to flee to his Moorish city of Toledo under Al-Ma'mun.
		The Cid was married in July 1074 to Alfonso's kinswoman Jimena de Gormaz (spelled Ximena in Old Castilian), the daughter of the Count of Oviedo.

	Madrid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The kingdoms of Castilla, with its capital at Toledo, and Aragón, with its capital at Barcelona, were welded into modern Spain by Charles I of Spain.
		The origin of the term possibly comes from the popular legend that the conquest of the city by Alfonso VI was achieved by the assault of the walls that protected the city.

	Chapter 12: The Legislative Works of Alfonso el Sabio
		Alfonso's law code appears to have been rather narrowly concerned with slander at this point; but the legal imagination being what it is, an analogy - farfetched, it seems to me - was drawn between slander and the exercise of property rights.
		The Siete partidas was conceived originally as a uniform code for all of Alfonso's domains, before being redefined in 1274 as a body of general law to be applied principally in appeals to the king's bench or in cases where royal jurisdiction is primary.
		With regard to this head-burying law, it is possible to imagine that Alfonso and his jurists did their work with one eye cocked at the municipal codes, which fixed pecuniary and other punishments for many physical affronts, some quite absurd.
