When Sancho Ramirez of Aragon was killed at a failed siege of the strategic Muslim city of Huesca, in northeast Spain (1094), his son Pedro I renewed the offensive and, at nearby Alcoraz, met a large Muslim relief army led by al-Mustain. Despite support from Castilian nobles, al-Mustain was utterly defeated. besieged Huesca surrendered to Pedro nine days later.
