Albesa, Battle of

The Battle of Albesa is a follow-up to the Battle of Torà that takes place February 25, 1003 at Albesa, near Balaguer, between the united Christian forces of Catalonia and the Islamic forces of the Caliphate of Córdoba.

It is one of the border skirmishes associated with the interminable razzias of the Reconquista, described as "a simple encounter between local forces" and "a local action without overarching importance", though both these views are called into question by the assemblage of important Catalan leaders at the battle and the Muslim reprisal that follows.
