were hung from the towers of Calatrava. Muño's body and those of his knights were recovered by the citizens of Toledo and buried in the cemetery of Saint Mary there. The author of the Chronica blames Muño's fate on the murder of his daughter: "He did not pity his own daughter as the Lord pitied him in all of the battles which he had fought." Then follows a citation of the Gospel of John, 8:7. In his capacity as leader of the Reconquista along the front south of Toledo Muño's immediate successor was Sancho Jimeno the Hunchback, the leader of the militia of Ávila.
