El 16 de julio de 1212 un ejército cruzado dirigido por Alfonso VIII de Castilla, con la colaboración de Pedro II de Aragón y Sancho VII de Navarra, se enfrentaba en Sierra Morena a un ejército musulmán comandado por el califa almohade al-Nasir. Fue un choque campal que pronto sería conocido como la batalla de Las Navas de Tolosa, y considerado decisivo a la hora de marcar el inicio del fin de al-Andalus y facilitar a la postre el triunfo definitivo de la Cristiandad en la Península Ibérica. Este enfrentamiento, posiblemente el más espectacular de la llamada Reconquista, merecía una obra gráfica como la que ahora tiene el lector en sus manos, que permite conocer y visualizar todos los pormenores de la campaña que llevó a la batalla. El autor, profesor de Historia también, nos propone una narración que conjuga el valor de la historieta clásica con el rigor historicista producto de una larga labor de documentación, a través de una puesta en escena que presenta una suma de personajes ficticios e históricos para amenizar el relato. **English**: On 16 July 1212, a Crusader army led by Alfonso VIII of Castile, with the collaboration of Pedro II of Aragon and Sancho VII of Navarre, faced a Muslim army commanded by the Almohad Caliph al-Nasir in the Sierra Morena. It was a pitched clash that would soon be known as the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, and was considered decisive in marking the beginning of the end of al-Andalus and facilitating the final triumph of Christianity in the Iberian Peninsula.this confrontation, possibly the most spectacular of the so-called Reconquest, deserved a graphic work like the one the reader now has in his hands, which allows him to know and visualize all the details of the campaign that led to the battle. The author, who is also a history teacher, offers us a story that combines the value of the classic comic strip with the historicist rigor that is the product of a long work of documentation, through a staging that presents a sum of fictitious and historical characters to liven up the story.
