The reconquest of Maella by Alfonso II

Historical milestone · Maella, Bajo Aragón-Caspe, Zaragoza

Alfonso II incorporated Maella into the kingdom in 1168, within the advance along the lower basin of the Matarraña. The local legend of the young woman who cut off her hand and sent it on a silver tray to an abusive lord explains the hand that figures on the municipal coat of arms.
