Alonzo, or as Spanish historians call him, Alphonso, the Eighth, surnamed the Noble, was only three years old when his father, Sancho the Third, died. Some differences arose in Castile concerning the guardianship of the young king, between the powerful houses of Lara and Castro, which Don Fernando, king of Aragon, thought favourable to his project of uniting the two kingdoms. He entered the infant king's dominions, took possession of Burgos, and pursued the Laras, who had the king in their power, to Soria. Alonzo was saved and kept in safety in Avila, until his eleventh year, when he began to exercise his regal functions. 1170. Alonzo being of age, assembled the Cortes of the kingdom at Burgos - there the king was solemnly recognized, and a treaty entered upon concerning his marriage with Eleanor of England, daughter of Henry the Second. 1195. This year, on the 19th of July, a most sanguinary battle was fought at Alarcos, between the Moors and the Christians. - Yacub led the former; and though Alonzo and his knights fought gallantly, the day proved one of the most disastrous to the Christian name since the invasion of Tarif; the slaughter was great, especially amongst the Christians.
