oct 23, 1086 - Battle of Sagrajas
Description:
The Battle of Sagrajas was a battle between the Almoravid army led by their King Yusuf ibn Tashfin and an army led by the Castilian King Alfonso VI. The battleground was later called az-Zallaqah (in English "slippery ground") because of the poor footing caused by the tremendous amount of blood shed that day, which gave rise to its name in Arabic.Added to timeline:
