September 1195 CE
Fernández de Castro, following the Battle of Alarcos, mediates negotiations between King Alfonso VIII of Castile and King Alfonso IX of León, in the city of Toledo.
After the failed meeting between the two sovereigns, Pedro Fernandez de Castro stays in León fighting against the kingdom of Castile.
Troops from León and Navarre, as well as Moorish forces, invade Castile, but the Castilians manage to repel the attackers.
Alfonso, assisted by Pope Innocent III and Spanish clergy, now prepares for a coordinated assault on the Almohads and other Muslim powers in southern Spain.
