Background
[edit]In 1189, King Sancho I of Portugal, with the assistance of crusaders, captured the city of Silves. In response, the Almohads launched a significant military campaign against the Kingdom of Portugal in the spring of 1190, which extended into the summer of 1191. This campaign involved several military engagements as the Almohads sought to respond to the Christian advances .[1][2]

Évora, an important city, fell to the Almohads as part of their broader efforts to regain control over Portuguese-held territories.[3][4][5][6]
