The Battle of Sagrajas (Portugal), was fought today. Part of The Reconquista Period, some 2,500 Knights and Men-at-Arms under Castilian and Argon leadership – were destroyed by Almoravid (Moorish) Muslims. The Moor Army was speculated at being around 10,000. The Castilian-Argon force foolishly split their forces. All but 520 of them survived (out of 2,500).
In Africa among The Dahomey Peoples ''Xevioso'' was The God of Thunder. An offspring of Mawu (Creator God), His presence was gauged as powerful and an omen of ''Good Luck'' among The Dahomey. With Thunder came Rain and as such a later good Harvest.
