History

A Christian army on its way to Toledo took control over the place on behalf of Alfonso VI in 1085, thereby becoming a realengo ('royal demesne').[3][4]

Torrijos was gifted to the archbishop of Toledo in 1214, in reward for the latter's help in the Battle of Navas de Tolosa,[5] ensuingly becoming a dominion of the Mitre of Toledo.[6] Torrijos enjoyed a sizeable Jewish community, which sided with the losing side in the Castilian Civil War and which also suffered, although to a lesser extent than other locations, the 1391 pogroms.[7] In the context of the 1449 urban revolts in Toledo, a Toledan army under Pedro Girón sacked Torrijos in 1450.[8] Torrijos was bought away from the Archdiocese of Toledo in 1482, and it was incorporated to the Estate of Maqueda, also becoming a town.[9]
