Not only should Alfonso X “the Wise” be remembered for his great work in all aspects of cultural life, but also for being constantly engaged in warfare. The purpose of this essay is to show the aggressive and decisive military activity carried out by this monarch before and after the Mudejar revolt in 1264-1266, and his important contribution to the Reconquest. By analyzing the above mentioned activity in detail, we will conclude that the periods of war were longer than the periods of peace during the time of his reign.
