Siege of Lleida (1149)
text:
In the spring of 1149, Count Ramon Berenguer IV of Barcelona laid siege to the Almoravid city of Lleida. The city was captured on 24 October 1149. Count Ermengol VI of Urgell also took part in the conquest. Nicholas Breakspear, abbot of Saint-Ruf and the future Pope Adrian IV, was present at the siege. Although strategically significant, the capture of Lleida drew less attention than the siege of Tortosa the previous year, which involved international contingents as part of the Second Crusade. A
