About the battle
The Battle of Ceuta (1309) was a military confrontation between the Crown of Aragon and the Nasrid kingdom of Granada at the city of Ceuta during the Castilian-Granadian War (1309-1319). The Marinid (Benimerin) Sultanate wished to occupy the city but lacked a navy to carry out the enterprise. The Crown of Aragon, which had gone to war against Granada, set out to conquer the city on behalf of the Marinids..
