The Crusade of Tedelis was a major conflict within the overarching struggle between the Crown of Aragon and the Kingdom of Tlemcen in the late 14th century.
In 1397, as a result of the Sack of Torreblanca,[1] in which Tlmeceni pirates captured the consecrated host [2] and 108 prisoners,[3] King Martin of Aragon ordered a retaliatory attack on Dellys also known as Tedelis,[4][5] chartering a fleet led by Joan Gascó[6] and an army led by Jaume de Pertusa.[7]
