1065 CE

The Moors, in a counterattack in 1065, easily retake Barbastro and undo all the crusaders' work, massacring the small garrison.

Ermengol III dies on April 17, 1065, while defending the city from Moorish reprisals.

Thibaut, the Burgundian leader, dies also, possibly of wounds received on campaign, while returning to France after the loss of the city.
