Tierra de Campos
Early in 1160 Fernando had been forced into exile at the court of Ferdinand II of León. According to Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada, writing in the early thirteenth century, he returned shortly with an army and inflicted a major defeat on his enemies, led by Nuño Pérez de Lara, brother of the young Alfonso's regent, Manrique, at "Lobregal" in the Tierra de Campos, near Villabrágima. The "Anales toledanos primeros", under the year 1160, note an "arrancada" led by Nuño Pérez in the Tierra de Campos. An "arrancada" could refer to "as much to a violent incursion, in the style of a chevauchée, as to a military action that ends in serious defeat." Nuño's brothers Manrique and Álvaro may have been present at the battle also.
