Small, lightly equipped armies reflect how the society (constantly at war) had to be on alert and be capable of moving long distance in short times, to return home once sacking the objective. The main battles were either between clans, expelling intruder armies or sacking expeditions.
Medieval Spain was in a different cultural context than the rest of Continental Europe, due to the contact with the Moorish culture and the isolation provided by the Pyrenees. As a consequence, war tactics were different from those in the rest of Europe (with the ...

 |  |  | Reconquista - The Pyrenees’ block: Encyclopedia II - Reconquista - Repopulating Hispania: the origin of fuerosThe Reconquista is a process not only of war and conquest, but mainly of repopulating. Christian kings took their own people to abandoned places, in order to have population capable to defend the borders. The main repopulation areas were the Duero basin (the northern plateau), the high Ebro valley (La Rioja) and central Catalonia. Repopulation appeared as the result of Berbers abandoning the land that they were given and the population growth of the Christian kingdoms. The Duero Basin was repopulated in two different ways, in two different p ...

 |  |  | Reconquista - The Pyrenees’ block: Encyclopedia II - Reconquista - Modern viewsModern historical theories dispute the idea that the Reconquista was merely a war of Christians versus Muslims. These theories note that the Muslims had occupied significant parts of the Iberian Peninsula for eight centuries, over which time it would had been impossible to keep ethnic groups separated. Noble genealogies clearly show the close relations between Muslims and Christians. More evidence supporting those theories is that the Portuguese and Spanish languages themselves have a high number of words of Arabic origin. Instead of the ter ...

These tribes received Roman Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula) and Southern Gaul as foedus, a payment for their loyalty. However, once the last emperor was deposed by Odoacer (476 AD), the Visigoths took Hispania as their kingdom.
