I'm writing a timeline (Battle of Caldbeck) where I'm weakening Catholicism in Western Europe to allow a much more heterodox Christian world. As part of this I'm butterflying Alfonso VI to death in the battle of Sagrajas in 1086 (I'll probably also move the battle, Alfonso's capture of Toledo and the Almoravid invasion of Andalusia a year forward). Unfortunately I'm not a leading expert on Islamic millitary history.
Does anybody have any suggestion about what would have happened if Alfonso VI had been killed in this battle and lost Toledo to the Almoravids?
Could the Berber empire have continued longer with a fatally weakened Leon, or was it too dependent on the personalities of its founders to survive longer?
Is the possibility of a continuing Almoravid Al-Andalus and an Almohad North Africa viable?
