Years: 1065 - 1065
Fernando I of Leon had in 1063 sent his son, the infante Sancho, to the aid of his vassal, Ahmad al-Muqtadir, king of the Taifa of Zaragoza when his city of Graus was being besieged by the forces of Ramiro I of Aragon.
Consequently, Ramiro, who was Fernando's brother, had been defeated and killed.
There had ensued a mass slaughter of Christians in the aftermath of that battle.
To appease public support, Ahmad al-Muqtadir has stopped paying his vassal tribute to the Kingdom of Leon.
King Fernando responds in 1065 by launching an expedition into the valley of the Ebro River, devastating the land and defeating al-Muqtadir, once again forcing him into a vassal state.
The expedition continues on towards Valencia, governed by Abd al-Malik ben Abd al-Aziz al-Mansur, with the intent on also turning that city into a vassal state.
