The Sack of Lisbon (798 CE) and the Peak of Alfonso II’s Campaigns
In 798 CE, Christian forces launch a successful raid on Lisbon, marking the high point of King Alfonso II of Asturias’s military campaigns against Al-Andalus.
This bold offensive demonstrates the growing military capability of the Asturian Kingdom, though the city remains under Muslim control. Despite this, the raid signals increasing Christian resistance and foreshadows the long-term Christian reconquest of Iberia.
