1194 CE

King Alfonso VIII of Castile has from 1172 engaged in resistance to the Almohads.

The Almohad caliph Abu Yusuf Ya'qub had in 1190 forced an armistice on the Christian kings of Castile and Leon, after repulsing their attacks on Muslim possessions in Spain.

At the expiration of the truce in 1194, Alfonso invades the province of Sevilla (Seville) with the largest army of this age, over three hundred thousand men, to defeat Abu Yusuf, prompting him to leave his North African capital, Marrakech, with an expedition against the Christians.
