THE HEROIC DEED OF GUZMÁN EL BUENO

Alonso Pérez de Guzmán, The Good (in the sense of righteous), defended the city of Tarifa from the siege of the Muslims. They had his son captured, and they appeared in front the gates of Tarifa to require the surrender of the city. They showed the son of Guzmán El Bueno and threatened to kill him if the city was not returned to them, and Alonso Pérez de Guzmán himself gave them his knife to kill his own son with it, because he preferred to lose his son before surrender Tarifa.
