 With his two brothers out of the way, Alfonso VI had no problem in securing the loyalty of both the high clergy and the nobility of their territories; to confirm this, he spent the next two years visiting them.Now established on the Leonese throne, and with the title of "Emperor", a relic of the Gothic tradition, Alfonso VI spent the following fourteen years of his reign expanding his territories through conquests such as that of Uclés and the lands of the Banu Di-l-Nun family.In 1072 he entitled himself "rex Spanie".
