Teruel in the manuscript, but Terrer is the name of the ancient town in the correct location.

Town in the valley of the River Jalon, 91 kilometers from Zaragoza, at 561 meters altitude. The main tower is post-Islamic but mudejar in style. The peace treaty ending the bloody War of the Pedros was signed in 1360 in the castle above the city.

• Book IV Chapter IV:

  And they said among themselves, Let us pursue them and spoil them, for if they of Teruel should be before us the honour and the profit will be theirs, and we shall have nothing.

• Book IV Chapter V:

  Much did this trouble the Moors of Teca, and it did not please those of Teruel, nor of Calatayud.

• Book IV Chapter V:

  And they sent to the King of Valencia to tell him that one who was called Ruydiez the Cid, whom King Don Alfonso had banished, was come into their country, and had taken Alcocer; and if a stop were not put to him, the King might look upon Teca and Teruel and Calatayud as lost, for nothing could stand against him, and he had plundered the whole country, along the Salon on the one side, and the Siloca on the other.

• Book IV Chapter IX:

  King Fariz got into Teruel, and King Galve fled after him, but they would not receive him within the gates, and he went on to Calatayud.

• Book IV Chapter XII:

  And King Fariz and the Moors of Techa, and of Teruel, and of Calatayud, were right glad of this, and the covenant was put in writing, and they sent him the three thousand marks.
