The Kingdom of Asturias greatly expanded its borders under King Alfonso III of Asturias (866-910), nicknamed the Great. In this episode we see most aspects of his reign and the last years of his father Ordoño, for example with the origins of Castile and Portugal as counties, the society and integration of that Castile county into a higher political entity, or the tragic story of the end of Alfonso's reign with the revolt of his sons and the division of the Kingdom of Asturias, the first step towards the transition of the Kingdom of Asturias to the Kingdom of León.
