The Battle of Monte Laturce, also known as the second Battle of Albelda, is a victory for the forces of Ordoño I of the Kingdom of Asturias and his ally García Íñiguez of Pamplona.
They defeat the latter's uncle and former ally, the Banu Qasi lord of Borja, Tarazona, Terrer, and Tudela, Musa ibn Musa, a marcher baron so powerful and independent that he is called by a Muslim chronicler "The Third King of Spain".
The battle takes place during the Asturian siege of a new fortress under construction by Musa at Albelda.
The fortress is taken a few days after the battle.
After Monte Laturce, Musa wis forced to fully submit to the Emir of Córdoba, who takes advantage of Musa's weakness to remove him as wāli of the Upper March, initiating a decade-long eclipse of the Banu Qasi.
