1092 CE
The Almoravid infantry uses bows and arrows, sabers, pikes, and javelins, each protected by a cuirass of Moroccan leather and iron-spiked shields.
During the siege of the fortress town of Aledo, in Murcia, previously captured by the Spaniard Garcia Giménez, Almoravid and Andalusian hosts are said to have used catapults, in addition to their customary drum beat.
