Note

Called The Wise. His reign was turbulent, marked by fighting with the Moors, a series of civil wars, and an extended but unsuccessful attempt on his part to gain the crown of the Holy Roman Empire. He was deposed in 1282, after an insurrectionled by his son Sancho IV, and died a fugitive. Alfonso promulgated the law code known as Las Siete Partidas (The Seven Parts). Himself a poet and author, he greatly stimulated the intellectual life of his time. A famous set of planetary tables,still known as the Alphonsine Tables, was prepared under his direction in 1252. |
