Granada 1492, The
Twilight of Moorish Spain by David Nicolle
By 1481
Granada was the last Islamic enclave in Catholic Spain. Granada's last
ruler, Muhammad XII 'Boabdil', faced the might of the Spanish royal army
revitalised and lavishly equipped with modern artillery. Despite this
mismatch of strength it took 11 years of hard campaigning before the
Spanish troops could bring their guns to bear on the walls of Granada.
After this the outcome could not be long delayed. Andalusia, the physical
embodiment of the flowering of Islamic culture in Spain was snuffed out.
