In 1138, Ali ibn Yusuf was defeated by Alfonso VII of León, and in the Battle of Ourique ( 1139 ), by Afonso I of Portugal, who thereby won his crown.

Afonso I was the son of Henry of Burgundy and Theresa of León, the natural daughter of King Alfonso VI of León.

The first-born of this union, Infanta Maria of Portugal, married King Alfonso XI of Castile in 1328, at the same time that Afonso IV's heir, Peter I of Portugal, was promised to another Castilian infanta, Constance of Peñafiel.

There has not been a monarch known as Alphonso or Alfonso I of Spain, the first king of that name of the unified Spain being Alfonso XII of Spain ( 1874 – 1885 ).

Several precursor kingdoms have had an Alfonso I.

* Alfonso I of Asturias ( 739 – 757 ).

* Alfonso I of Aragon and Navarre ( 1104 – 1134 ), known as the Battler

* Alfonso II of Aragon, aka Alfons I, Count of Barcelona, ( 1162 – 1196 ) known as el Cast ( the Chaste ) or el Trobador ( the Troubadour )

Alfonso II ( 759 – 842 ), called the Chaste, was the king of Asturias from 791 to his death, the son of Fruela I and the Basque Munia.

* Infante Juan Carlos Teresa Silvestre Alfonso of Spain ( 1913 – 1993 ), named heir to the throne and Count of Barcelona, whose son is the current King, Juan Carlos I of Spain.

Alfonso I ( 1073 / 1074 – 8 September 1134 ), called the Battler or the Warrior (), was the king of Aragon and Navarre from 1104 until his death in 1134.

Alfonso the Magnanimous KG ( also Alphonso ; ; 1396 – 27 June 1458 ) was the King of Aragon ( as Alfonso V ), Valencia ( as Alfonso III ), Majorca, Sardinia and Corsica ( as Alfonso II ), and Sicily and Count of Barcelona ( as Alfonso IV ) from 1416 and King of Naples ( as Alfonso I ) from 1442 until his death.

* Alfonso I of Asturias-( 739-757 )

* Alfonso I of Aragon-( 1104 – 1134 )

* Alfonso I d ' Este, Duke of Ferrara during the time of the War of the League of Cambrai.

Alfonso I may refer to:

* Alfonso I of Asturias ( 739 – 757 ), called the Catholic ( el Católico ), was the King of Asturias

* Alfonso I of Aragon ( 1104 – 1134 ), known as Alfonso the Battler

Alfonso was subsequently elected king on 14 September 791.

This led to the end of the Carlist revolts and the victory over the New York backed Cuban revolutionaries, and led to a huge backing both by insular and peninsular Spaniards of Alfonso as a wise and able king.

The step-son of the deceased king, Alfonso VII of León, as reigning monarch and legitimate descendant of Sancho III of Navarre, put himself forward but garnered no local support.

The choice of the Navarrese lords fell on García Ramírez, Lord of Monzón, descendant of an illegitimate son of García Sánchez III and protégé of Alfonso VII to be their king.

For example, Alfonso halted his army in pious respect before the birthplace of a Latin writer, carried Livy or Caesar on his campaigns with him, and his panegyrist Panormita even stated that the king was cured of an illness when a few pages of Quintus Curtius Rufus ' history of Alexander the Great were read to him.

* Alfonso V of Aragon-( 1416 – 1458 ), also king of Naples and Sicily

* Alfonso VI of Portugal ( 1643 – 1667 ) second king of the House of Braganza

Alicante was finally taken in 1246 by the Castilian king Alfonso X, but it passed soon and definitely to the Kingdom of Valencia in 1298 with King James II of Aragon.

Exiled from the court of the Spanish Emperor Alfonso VI of León and Castile, El Cid went on to command a Moorish force consisting of Muladis, Berbers, Arabs and Malians, under Yusuf al-Mu ' taman ibn Hud, Moorish king of the northeast Al-Andalus city of Zaragoza, and his successor, Al-Mustein II.

Almost immediately, Alfonso returned from exile in Toledo and took his seat as king of Castile and León.

* 1349-Gibraltar was unsuccessfully besieged by the Castilian forces led by the king Alfonso XI.

In 1338 he was chosen archbishop of Toledo in succession to his uncle by the favour of the king, Alfonso XI of Castile.

Albornoz left Spain on the death of the king Alfonso XI in that year, and never returned.

Alfonso XIII was born after his father's death and was proclaimed king upon his birth.

At times, the figural depictions are hierarchical, especially in scenes with representations of Alfonso, where the king is seated on a raised throne while dictating to scribes or meting out punishments to gamblers.

In 1086 Yusuf ibn Tashfin was invited by the taifa Muslim princes of the Iberian Peninsula ( Al-Andalus ) to defend their territories from Alfonso VI, King of León and Castile.

He also vanquished Alfonso VII of León, came to the rescue of his mother, whose nephew he was, and thus freed the kingdom from political dependence on the crown of his cousin of León.

Independence from Alfonso VII of León's suzerainty, however, was not a thing he just could achieve militarily.

Alfonso also moved the capital from Pravia, where Silo had located it, to Oviedo, the city of his father's founding and his birth.

Alfonso XII ( born Alfonso Francisco de Asís Fernando Pío Juan María de la Concepción Gregorio Pelayo ) ( Madrid, 28 November 1857 – El Pardo, 25 November 1885 ) was King of Spain, reigning from 1874 to 1885, after a coup d ' état restored the monarchy and ended the ephemeral First Spanish Republic.

Much like in Britain, who subtracted itself from the liberal constitutional process, Spanish conservatives wanted to continue with the Traditional Spanish Organic Laws such as the Fuero Juzgo, the Novísima Recopilación and the Partidas of Alfonso X.

Ibn al-Athir ( 1166 – 1234 ) describes Alfonso as a tireless soldier who would sleep in his armor without benefit of cover, who responded when asked why he did not take his pleasure from one of the captives of Muslim chiefs, responded that the man devoted to war needs the companionship of men not women.

Elena Lourie ( 1975 ) suggested instead that it was Alfonso's attempt to neutralize the papacy's interest in a disputed succession — Aragon had been a fief of the Papacy since 1068 — and to fend off Urraca's son from her first marriage, Alfonso VII of Castile, for the Papacy would be bound to press the terms of such a pious testament.

Alfonso III ( 1265, Valencia – 18 June 1291 AD ), called the Liberal ( el Liberal ) or the Free ( also " the Frank ," from el Franc ), was the King of Aragon and Count of Barcelona ( as Alfons II ) from 1285.
