	Battle of Alarcos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Battle of Alarcos (July 18, 1195), was a great victory of Almohad ruler Abu Yusuf Ya'qub al-Mansur over the Castilian King Alfonso VIII; also referred as the Disaster of Alarcos due to the magnitude of the Castilian defeat.
		The outcome of the battle even threatened the stability of the kingdom of Castile, since, after it, the whole Muslim al-Andalus became part of the Almohad empire.
		The subsequent counter-attack of the Castilians against the new African rulers culminates in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa seventeen years later.
