Siege of Cáceres (1218)

The siege of Cáceres of 1218 was an Iberian crusade organized by King Alfonso IX of León with the goal of capturing the fortified city of Cáceres from the Almohad Caliphate. After the environs of Cáceres were devastated, the siege itself began in the middle of November. It had to be abandoned before Christmas on account of heavy rains and flooding.
