Las Navas
el caballero de Calatrava en la batalla más importante de la Reconquista
Barber, Judá
1211. The Order of Calatrava, after a ruthless siege, surrenders the fortress of Salvatierra. The news travels through all the Christian kingdoms of Europe, plunging them into fear and despair. Caliph al-Nãsir wants to complete the dream started by his father in Alarcos and has assembled the largest army ever seen in the endless war between Muslims and Christians for dominance of the Iberian Peninsula. The Hispanic kings, led by Alfonso VIII of Castile, do not intend to disappear into the darkness without a fight. They summon their hosts and request help from Pope Innocent III, who declares the Crusade; Thousands of warriors come to the call of faith. Enric Vidal, a hard Calatravo knight, will make us part of the epic campaign that led to the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, one of the most transcendental and bloody of the Middle Ages.
