Please note that the writer of the entry about the battle probably meant IMPETUS rather than INERTIA.

The numbers for combatants and casualties seems to be wildly over the top - rasmusdf
The article is not good....and neutral it is not...
The iberian almohads could have not rasied 460 000 men for battle, even if presummably they would have called to arms all the adult male population of thery iberian empire (which had aproximattley 1 milion in total) .... The number is fantasticcly high, surely an exagerattion by some early medieval chronicle which ussualy tend to exaggerate the numbers of the enemyes.... Putting this into Wikipedia, i think, was not wise and correct at all...Logically, all the scheme should be reconsidered whith historicaly accurate data... Both armyes where about the same, in any case no larger then 30 000 men (from my historicall knowledge, i read several accounts), and the charge of the king of Arragon decided the battle in favour of the spanish.
