Description

The premise is an alternate history scenario in which the Iberian Peninsula takes a different historical path following the death of King Fernando I of León. In this timeline:

  • Galicia becomes the dominant Christian kingdom on the Iberian Peninsula and is proclaimed "Imperator totius Hispaniae," a title previously held by Alfonso.

  • Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, known as 'el Campeador' (the Champion), is falsely accused of treason and exiled from Castile. He becomes a mercenary leader and captures Valencia, establishing himself as its ruler.

  • Valencia forms alliances with the County of Barcelona and the Crown of Aragon, thriving and expanding.

  • A century later, the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa occurs, involving not only Castile, Navarre, and Aragon but also Valencia and Galicia. The Christians win, leading to the collapse of the Almohad empire.

  • The Mozarabic population in Murcia and Almeria rebel, creating two Christian states in southern Iberia.

  • Galicia expands its territory, forming a crown composed of six realms: Galicia, León, Lusitania, Algarve, Seville, and Granada.

  • An independent Christian army proclaims a king in Toledo, leading to a conflict with Castile, which eventually recognizes the Kingdom of Toledo.
