The siege of Aledo

Historical milestone · Aledo, Bajo Guadalentín, Murcia

Image of Aledo, not of the place itself.

The Almoravid emir Yusuf ibn Tashfin besieged for four months in 1088 the fortress that García Jiménez held for Alfonso VI; the disunity of the taifa kings and the march of the Castilian army to relieve the stronghold forced the siege to be lifted.
