The Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, known in Arab history as the Battle of Al-Uqab (معركة العقاب), took place on 16 July 1212 and was an important turning point in the Reconquista and in the medieval history of Spain.[6] The Christian forces of King Alfonso VIII of Castile were joined by the armies of his rivals, Sancho VII of Navarre, Peter II of Aragon and Afonso II of Portugal, in battle[7] against the Berber Almohad Muslim rulers of the southern half of the Iberian Peninsula. The Caliph al-Nasir (Miramamolín in the Spanish chronicles) led the Almohad army, made up of people from the whole Almohad empire. Most of the men in the Almohad army came from the African side of the empire.

Templar

Music & lyrics by J Stephen Roberts

Church on a hill in a grove
Below skies gray
Lay the sword at the altar
Kneel and pray

Faith is that a soul black with sin
Can be restored
But what penance could ever cleanse the Christian blood
That stains this sword?

Brothers all around as I kneel
And the oath is sworn
Clad in the mantle and the spurs
I am reborn

The burdens of the Devil's rule
No more upon me lay
And the sword that once carved my path to hell
Will guard the pilgrim's way

Templar - an original song
