Hello I am in need of online sources for information on the use of mercenaries for both Almoravid and Leonese armies in 11th century Spain. In my desperation, information on other kingdoms would suffice. Could some kind soul help me! Thanks QN |

Quebec, other mercenaries in Spain at the time are Normans. You could try a search on Norman with Casttile, Aragon and a search on Reinas de Tafas? |

Thanks mate. I've done that as well. Norman military intervention in León was relatively insignificant in contrast to Aragon. |
