Hi

May 2, 711

Today there has been chaos in the castle because of the Muslims entering the peninsula. At night he explained to my children the importance of God in our lives.

May 4, 711

It is the feudal lord's birthday and we have gone to buy some animals to raise them and have something to eat. We have helped in the repairs of the castle due to the invading Muslims.

September 15, 711

I haven't written anything for several months because I didn't have an inspiration to do it. Today the feudal lord has let me train in his castle with his lackeys, in addition, I will have an armor and a cape for my horse. Our plan is to attack Muslims by surprise.

October 30, 711

We have learned of the death of the governor of the Muslims, I have been killed by someone who broke into his inn and we do not know who was responsible. It was not us but after his death a new crisis begins

November 15, 711

A few days ago I returned from fighting the Muslims. It was a very intense fight and in the end they defeated us. There were many casualties and we are losing territory. Food is scarce and medicines are also scarce. I feel a crisis.

November 20, 711

The fall is imminent. Muslims have razed everything in their path behind us. A minstrel has informed us that soon they will receive more fighters and that they will meet five days later. The few that remain received help from some farmers.

December 14, 711

The feudal lord found me that the resistance was dividing to go against the Muslims. He told me what he wanted, we would be but I told him that I was without strength and he gave me several days to regain strength.

January 8, 712

The defeat was very hard. Muslims razed towns and villages. The castle of the feudal lord was reduced to ashes and is currently in their hands. As I continue to escape and without having more news of my troops.
