Torà, Battle of

Years: 1003 - 1003

The Battle of Torà is a defensive battle of the Reconquista, fought between an alliance of Catalonian counts and an army of the Caliphate of Córdoba in 1003 at Torà, Lleida.

The main source for the battle is Andrew of Fleury, who probably received his information, which is detailed and generally accurate, during a trip to Catalonia.

He incorporated the account in his Miracula sancti Benedicti around 1043.

"The Master said, 'A true teacher is one who, keeping the past alive, is also able to understand the present.'"
