Alfonso VIII of Castile

Alfonso VIII (11 November 1155 –  5 October 1214), called the Noble or Él de las Navas, was the King of Castile from 1158 to his death. He is most 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 who broke the power of the Almohads in the Battle of the Navas de Tolosa in 1212, an event which marked the arrival of an irreversible tide of Christian supremacy on the Iberian peninsula.
