Alfonso III, the Great (838-910): A Regal Legacy in Spanish History This print showcases the image of Alfonso III, the Great, one of the most renowned kings in the history of Asturias and León in northern Spain. Born in 838, Alfonso III ascended to the throne in 866, following the death of his father, Ordoño I. During his reign, he expanded the Kingdom of Asturias and united it with León, thus establishing the Kingdom of León and Castile. Alfonso III is celebrated for his military prowess and his commitment to the Christian faith. He played a significant role in the Reconquista, the long and arduous process of reclaiming the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors. His military successes earned him the title 'the Great.' The image on the print depicts Alfonso III in his royal regalia, wearing a richly decorated coat and holding a scepter. The queen, dressed in her royal attire, stands beside him, symbolizing the unity and strength of their rule. The background features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of León, which includes a lion holding a shield with a castle and a cross. This print is part of the collection housed at the Academia General Militar (General Military Academy) in Zaragoza, Spain. It serves as a testament to the rich history of the Spanish monarchy and the enduring legacy of Alfonso III, the Great. The intricate details of the print, from the regal attire to the heraldic symbols, offer a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of the royal court during the late Middle Ages. Philately enthusiasts and history buffs alike will appreciate the historical significance of this print, which offers a unique perspective on the life and reign of Alfonso III, the Great, and the role he played in shaping the history of Spain.
