 The battle is usually connected with a campaign of Ordoño I of Asturias to suppress a Basque revolt, and may be related also to the capture of certain Frankish and Gascon leaders.In the past it has been conflated with the Battle of Monte Laturce, also near Albelda, which occurred in 859 or 860.According to Ibn Hayyan, in 237 A.H. (851/2 A.D.), the same year that Íñigo Arista died, Musa ibn Musa defeated the Gascons ("Glaskiyyun") in battle under the walls of Albelda.
