The conquest of Alfonso VI

Historical milestone · Talavera de la Reina, Talavera, Toledo

Image of Talavera de la Reina, not of the place itself.

The troops of Alfonso VI took the town in 1083, two years before Toledo, because controlling this crossing of the Tajo was a precondition for besieging the taifa capital. The stronghold remained the head of an extensive alfoz on the Tajo frontier.
