Did Savary of Mauléon Participate in Alfonso IX’s Failed Siege of Caceres in 1218?

Résumé

This paper assesses the evidence on whether Savary of Mauléon could have been present in the attempted conquest of Caceres by King Alfonso IX of Leon around the autumn of 1218. This paper also explains the possible reasons that might have encouraged the participation of this Poitevin nobleman in Iberian wars against the Almohads. It also attempts to contextualise Savary’s alleged involvement in Iberia in relation to his political and military career before and after the events of the Fifth Crusade.
