Uclés, the field that was twice stained with blood

The article discusses the historical battle of Uclés, which took place on May 30, 1108, during the Almohad conquest of Al-Andalus. According to a letter written by Tamin to his brother, Emir Ali ibn Yusuf, the Almohads and their Andalusian allies killed approximately three thousand Christians in the battle. The forces reportedly decapitated the victims and piled their heads in a heap on the battlefield to serve as a platform for prayer. This event is part of the broader history of military conflicts in Spain, including the Napoleonic Wars, the Peninsular War, and other significant battles.
