 Alfonso XI ordered the assassination of his uncle Juan the One-eyed in Toro in the 1326 eve of the feast of All Saints along two of the latter's knights, luring the former with promises of reconciliation.He managed to extend the limits of his kingdom to the Strait of Gibraltar after the important victory at the Battle of Río Salado against the Marinid Dynasty in 1340 and the conquest of the Kingdom of Algeciras in 1344.Once that conflict was resolved, he redirected all his Reconquista efforts to fighting the Moorish king of Granada.
