EDITORS COMMENTS
This nineteenth-century colored engraving depicts a pivotal moment in the history of the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages: the Siege of Cuenca on September 21, 1177. The image showcases two of the most prominent kings of the time, Alfonso II of Aragon and Alfonso VIII of Castile, leading their armies against the Moorish forces besieged within the city walls. Alfonso II, also known as Alfonso the Chaste, is depicted on the left side of the image, wearing the royal robes of the Crown of Aragon and holding a banner bearing the cross, symbolizing his role as a Christian monarch. Alfonso VIII, or Alfonso El de las Navas, is shown on the right, dressed in the colors of the House of Burgundy and wielding a sword, ready to lead his Castilian troops into battle. The Siege of Cuenca was a significant event in the Christian Reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula, as it marked the first major victory for the Christian forces against the Moors since the Battle of Navas de Tolosa in 1212. The successful siege allowed the Christian kingdoms to expand their territories and strengthen their hold on the region. The engraving's vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the grandeur and intensity of the medieval campaign, transporting us back to a time when the fate of entire kingdoms hung in the balance on the battlefield.
