Revolt of al-Azraq (1 янв 1247 г. – 1 янв 1258 г.)

Описание:

Revolt of al-Azraq (also named al-Yazrayi) against James from a mountainous area near Valencia. Not constant- rose in 1248 and 1258 (not sure how long each lasted).

Al-Azraq sought to play James and Alfonso against each other. Some success- relations strained.

Al-Azraq did become client of Alfonso- hard to tell when, but definitely had some relations from 1252.

James undertook bloody campaign (crusade) in 1257-8.
