 Siege of Seville

The Siege of Seville (July 1247 – November 1248) was a 16-month successful investment during the "Reconquista" of Seville by forces of Ferdinand III of Castile.Although perhaps eclipsed in geopolitical importance by the rapid capture of Córdoba in 1236, which sent a shockwave through the Muslim world, the Siege of Seville was nonetheless the most complex military operation undertaken by Fernando III.
