Don Diego López de Haro, Lord of Biscay and chief standard-bearer to King Alfonso VIII of Castile, was one of the leading figures at the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, fought on 16 July 1212. He commanded the Christian army's vanguard, leading his men against the Almohad forces. His leadership was particularly important during the most difficult stages of the battle, which ended in victory for the Christian kingdoms. This TOY SOLDIER evokes the celebrated Castilian nobleman, displaying heraldic emblems associated with the House of Haro, whose members played an important role in the history of the Reconquista.
