... that when his enemy Alfonso XI succumbed to the Black Death while besieging Gibraltar, Yusuf I of Granada(coin pictured) ordered his forces to not attack Alfonso's army as they carried the body home? Source: " Another example of Yusuf I's gracious behaviour and wish to maintain peaceful relations with the Kingdom of Castile occurred when Alfonso XI, who was besieging Gibraltar, was struck down by the Black Death; though the siege continued, he died in his camp in 751/March 1350. His body was taken to Seville by his knights and Yusuf I gave orders to his own troops and the mayors of the frontier towns not to attack the cortège, Fernández-Puertas 1997, p. 10
