The Cowardly King of Aragon

Berengar sat upon horseback as he gazed into the distance towards the city of Zaragoza through his binoculars. He would never have guessed that the main Portuguese army would be defeated at the Southwestern Border.

It was because of this event, as well as the ruthless attack on Toledo, that the two remaining monarchs had grown cautious and withdrew half of their forces to defend their home territory. The result of which would have massive consequences for the Reconquista as a whole.

Upon seeing an army of a hundred thousand men gathered within the vicinity of the city of Zaragoza, Berengar knew that he had no chance of rooting out and destroying the Aragonese King with the 10,000 men under his command. Having come to this realization he stored his binoculars away before issuing the orders that would change the course of history.

"Fall back to the main defensive line. We do not have the manpower necessary to take this city."
