 Battle of Graus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Graus (Spanish: Batalla de Graus; also Siege of Graus) was a battle of the early Spanish Reconquista in spring 1063 (some sources say the battle was in early May, possibly around May 8).
The engagement took place in Graus and was fought between the Aragonese forces of Ramiro I and the Moorish forces of al-Muktadir, the king of Zaragoza.
A Castilian contiginent under then-Prince Sancho was allied with al-Muktadir, and also took part in the battle.

 BATTLES OF RODRIGO DIAZ DE VIVAR "EL CID"
At this battle, the Moslem king of Zaragoza, Al-Muktadir, defeated the king of Aragon, Ramiro I, who died at the battle (actually, some sources affirm a murderer was sent to kill him during the battle).
The battle of Golpejera is more controversial: depending on the sources (Castilian or Leonese) the battle is different.
The fact is that Alfonso is captured by his brother Sancho, who is crowned as king of León, while Alfonso is exiled at the court of the Moslem king of Toledo, Al-Mamún.
