The Battle of Cabra took place in 1079 in modern-day Spain. It resulted in a victory for El Cid who routed the combined armies of Emir Abd Allah of Granada and his ally García Ordóñez. Rodrigo Díaz defeated the Emir Abd Allah of Granada^[1], who was helped by the Castilian Count García Ordóñez.

In the battle of Coria, Alfonso VI (already king of Castile and León) defeats the Muslim Emir of Badajoz, Al-Mutawwakkil.

Al-Mutawwakkil renounces control of Toledo and al-Qadir is reinstated. A Leonese garrison is established at Zorita to the east of Toledo.
