Was repopulated in 1155 with 18 inhabitants, and in 1159, the council of Toledo donates three quarters of the village of Alameda at the end of Cobeja.
In the list of rents received in 1232 the Cathedral of Toledo is mentioned Couexa. The reviews that appear in the Mozarabic documents of the time there is the difficulty of distinguishing Cobeja of Cobisa because Arabic is written in the same way.
