Spain
Part of the country ruled by a number
of different small Moslem kings
Alfonso VI of Castile, 1072-1109
- very active in fighting against the
Moslems, attempting to drive them back to Africa - during his reign El Cid (Rodrigo Diaz de
Bivar) became renowned as a warrior in fighting against the Moslems - in later Spanish mythology
he was viewed as almost single-handedly driving the Moslems out of Spain [in reality El
Cid fought on the side of the Moslems almost as much as he fought against them]
