Lot of 7 Billon Denaros of Alfonso VIII, Kingdom of Toledo, 1158 - 1214
|Spain|, |Lot| |of| |7| |Billon| |Denaros| |of| |Alfonso| |VIII,| |Kingdom| |of| |Toledo,| |1158| |-| |1214|, Alfonso VIII, called the Noble or el de las Navas, was the King of Castile and King of Toledo. He is best remembered for his part in the Reconquista and the downfall of the Almohad Caliphate. After having suffered a great defeat with his own army at Alarcos against the Almohads, he led the coalition of Christian princes and foreign crusaders. In the Battle of the Navas de Tolosa in 1212, they broke the power of the Almohads, an event which marked the arrival of a tide of Christian supremacy on the Iberian peninsula. His reign saw the domination of Castile over León and, by his alliance with Aragon, he drew those two spheres of Christian Iberia into close connection. This type was struck through the reign of Alfonso X
