After the assassination of Sancho, Urraca sent summons to the nobles of his dominions, and Alfonso was grudgingly acknowledged as heir to both Castile and León.

Suspicion of Alfonso's participation in the assassination remained however, and led by the Cid and a dozen "oath-helpers", the nobles forced Alfonso to swear to his innocence publicly in front of St. Gadea's Church in Burgos. From this incident dated Alfonso's later antagonism to the Cid.
