Siege of Abrantes
Part of the Reconquista in 1179
The Siege of Abrantes was the unsuccessful attempt by the Almohads to capture the Portuguese river crossing and fortress at Abrantes in 1179. The military expedition to Abrantes was the critical part of an Almohad campaign launched that year to retaliate for the Portuguese raid to Triana the previous year.
