The Battle of Toledo was fought in AD 1085, as part of the Reconquista. In this battle, king Alfonso VI of Castile (1040-1109) defeated the Muslims in Toledo, an important city beside the Tajo River. With this victory, Christians took control of an strategic area, from which they could start new military campaigns, and thus begin re-converting the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) back to Christianity after hundreds of years of Islamic rule.
