Alfonso VII of León and Castile
The Poem of Almería () is a medieval Latin epic poem in 385½ leonine hexameters. It was appended to the end of the "Chronica Adefonsi imperatoris", an account of the reign of Alfonso VII of León and Castile, and narrates the victorious military campaign of 1147 that culminated in the conquest of the port of Almería. The poem, as it survives, is unfinished, abruptly ending mid-line before recounting the actual siege of Almería itself. Of its surviving lines, 293 consist of ""dénombrement épique", a stirring roll-call of the chief members and contingents of the army".
