Al-Hallaj was a 9th century Sufi mystic, poet, and teacher born in Persia. He memorized the Quran at a young age and would often retreat for spiritual study. As an adult, he traveled widely preaching and writing about achieving intimacy with God. However, his teachings were controversial as mysticism was not meant to be shared publicly. He was eventually executed in Baghdad in 922 after uttering "Ana al-Haq" ("I am the Truth"), which was interpreted as claiming to be God. While revered by some, he remains a controversial figure in Islamic history.
Al-Andalus was a major cultural center during the Middle Ages, with the Caliphate of Cordoba producing important scholars like Ibn Hazm and Abulcasis. Muslim art developed in Al-Andalus, known as Andalusí art, with major works including the Mosque of Cordoba, the Alhambra palace complex in Granada, and the Medina Azahara palace outside Cordoba built by Caliph Abd ar-Rahman III. This art incorporated elements of Greek classical culture transmitted through Al-Andalus and featured decorative styles using tiles, stucco, and woodwork.
The Arabs on the Iberian Peninsula from 711-1492 CE saw:
1. The initial conquest by Muslim armies which established independent emirates and caliphates that flourished for several centuries, reaching a golden age under the Caliphate of Córdoba.
2. The fragmentation of al-Andalus into competing Taifa kingdoms from the 11th-13th centuries as Christian kingdoms advanced, until temporary political unifications by the Almoravids and Almohads.
3. The eventual fall of Muslim rule to the Catholic Monarchs with the conquest of Granada in 1492, ending over 700 years of Arab presence on the Iberian Peninsula
The Wars of the Roses were a series of civil wars in England between 1455 and 1485 fought over the throne between the House of Lancaster and the House of York, two rival branches of the royal House of Plantagenet. The House of York included King Edward IV and King Richard III, while the House of Lancaster included King Henry VI and King Henry V. Weak rule by Henry VI, failures in the Hundred Years' War, and social/financial troubles afterwards led to armed conflicts between the families that ultimately resulted in the rise of the Tudor dynasty.
The document summarizes the history of the Byzantine Empire. It began as the eastern half of the Roman Empire after Diocletian split the empire in 284 AD. Constantine rebuilt the city of Byzantium, renaming it Constantinople and making it the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. Under Justinian in the 6th century, the Byzantine Empire reconquered much of the territory of the old Western Roman Empire before losing it again. The Byzantine Empire lasted until the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire in 1453.
Mary Tudor was the first Queen of England, reigning from 1553 until her death in 1555. She was the daughter of King Henry VIII and staunchly Catholic, earning her the nickname "Bloody Mary" for ordering the executions of over 300 Protestants during her reign in an attempt to reverse the Protestant reforms of her father and half-sister Elizabeth I. Some of the prominent Protestants executed on her orders included her cousin Lady Jane Grey and Archbishop Thomas Cranmer.

The Norman Conquest of England in 1066 led to major political, social, and cultural changes. King Edward the Confessor died without an heir, leading to claims on the English throne by Harold Godwinson, William Duke of Normandy, and Harald Hardrada of Norway. William defeated Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, establishing Norman rule over England. This brought changes like replacing English elites with Normans, introducing feudalism as the governmental system, and making French the dominant language, though English and Latin were also used. Norman architecture like castles and churches were built in the new Romanesque style using stone.

William Tyndale was an English writer born around 1494 who learned many languages and is renowned for translating the Bible into English. During this time, the King prohibited ordinary people from reading the Bible, but Tyndale believed all people should have access to it. He left England to illegally translate the Bible in Europe but was imprisoned and ultimately executed for his work. However, he was able to complete translating much of the Bible, which helped spread the word of God to many more people.

Slide presentation used for the communication 'The Alcaicería of Granada (Spain) From a silk trade center to a post-touristic shopping-scape', presented in Lisbon (May 2013) during the International Conference ShoppingScapes´13, Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias. This communication shows some preliminary notes about the evolution of the Alcaicería of Granada, Spain, a case study of one of the precursors of themed modern shopping centers and malls.
Abstract: The Alcaicería of Granada is a contemporary post-touristic shopping-scape with deeps roots in history. In the Medieval Arab world, the term al-qaysāriyya described a commercial institution for the silk trade as well as an architectonic typology. In Al-Andalus, the typology was a cluster of shops located in the center of the main cities. After the Reconquest, these structures were maintained and alcaicerías were even built, as commercial spaces, in America and the Philippines. The decline of the silk trade provoked their disappearance, with the exception of Granada's. The chronicle of the Alcaicería of Granada begins with a "transaction document" (1460), continues with its reconstruction in Alhambresque style (1843) and its conversion into a theme market for handcrafts (1940), to its recent restoration (2002). Today, the mimetic atmosphere full of souvenirs, among just a few local crafts, is a commercial urban scenario that mixes reality and fiction for tourists.

The early history of Al-Andalus
By the 8th century, Muslims had expanded beyond Arabia and controlled North Africa. In 711, they crossed into the Iberian Peninsula, defeating the Visigoth King Roderic. They occupied most of the peninsula but not the mountainous regions. The Muslims called their new territory Al-Andalus, with its capital at Córdoba, dependent on the Umayyad caliphate. Over time Al-Andalus fragmented into taifa states and the Christian kingdoms grew in strength, gradually reconquering Muslim lands.

The Alhambra is a palace and fortress located in Granada, Spain. It was built during the rule of the Arab caliphate of Cordoba between the 9th-15th centuries. The Nasrid Dynasty made the Alhambra their royal residence and citadel in the 13th century, transforming the existing ruins into an opulent palace complex. Today it remains one of Spain's most visited sites and a symbol of the Moorish period in Iberia.
The document provides a summary of the history of Alhambra in Granada, Spain. It describes how Muslim Moors conquered Spain in 711 and established the powerful Cordoba caliphate, bringing a golden age of culture and learning. It then summarizes how the Nasrid Palace at Alhambra fell to Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492, ending over 700 years of Islamic rule in Spain. The palace reflects the last century of Moorish culture with architectural features like horseshoe arches, stalactite ceilings, and intricate stucco patterns.
The document provides a summary of the history of Alhambra in Granada, Spain. It describes how the Moors conquered Spain in 711 and established the Cordoba caliphate, a powerful Islamic republic. As time passed, the caliphate broke into smaller kingdoms. In 1492, the Catholic Monarchs conquered the last Islamic kingdom of Granada, ending over 700 years of Islamic rule in Spain. They took possession of the Nasrid Palace at Alhambra, the last Islamic palace built in the 14th century before the fall to Spain. The palace architecture reflects Moorish culture, using horseshoe arches, stalactite ceilings, and ornate stucco decorations with calligraphy
The Alhambra and Generalife of Granada are exceptional examples of medieval Muslim royal residences that have been preserved without major destruction or alteration. The Albayzín quarter also still maintains its original urban fabric and Moorish architectural characteristics from the medieval period. Archaeological evidence shows the areas have been continuously occupied since Roman times. The Nasrid dynasty developed Granada in the 14th century, including expanding the Alhambra fortress and surrounding lands. After the Christian reconquest in 1492, the Muslim population largely emigrated but the existing architecture was integrated with new Christian structures. Today the medieval zones of the Alhambra, Generalife gardens and Albayzín quarter remain distinct from the lower, modern city.
The document provides an overview of the history and culture of Al-Andalus. It summarizes that:
The Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula began in 711 CE and within a few years they had occupied nearly the entire region, establishing the independent Emirate of Cordoba by 756 CE. This evolved into the powerful Caliphate of Cordoba from 929-1031 CE, which saw a golden age of culture and learning. However, internal conflicts later caused the fragmentation of Al-Andalus into competing taifa states by 1031 CE, weakening the region as Christian kingdoms grew in strength. The last remnants of Muslim rule in Iberia ended with the fall of Granada
The early history of Al-Andalus saw the Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula in 711 and the establishment of an independent Emirate of Córdoba by Abd al-Rahman I in 756. Over the following centuries, the Caliphate of Córdoba rose to prominence as a center of culture and learning before declining and fracturing into taifa kingdoms in the 11th century. As the taifas fought each other, Christian kingdoms took the opportunity to advance southward in the Reconquista.

Today it is known for its manzanilla sherry production and historic quarter with whitewashed houses and tiled roofs dating back to its medieval past.
Cordoba has a long and rich history, originating as a nucleus of early civilizations before becoming an important city in Roman and Visigothic Spain. In the 8th century, it was conquered by Muslims who made it the capital of Al-Andalus and an economic and cultural center. At its peak in the 10th century under the Caliphate, Cordoba had over 500,000 inhabitants and was one of the largest cities in Europe. It declined after being reconquered by Christians in the 13th century but remains an important Andalusian city with significant historical and architectural landmarks.

The Alhambra in Granada is the second most visited monument in Spain, dating back nearly 800 years to the Moorish rule over the region. It is an impressive palace and fortress complex built on a hill overlooking the city that once served military, administrative, and royal functions. Though neglected for centuries after the Christian reconquest, careful restoration work in the 20th century has preserved its beautiful Nasrid palaces and courtyards like the famous Court of the Lions. Nearby, the lush gardens of the Generalife served as a place of relaxation for the Muslim kings of Granada, and remain an oasis of history within the city.
The city of Granada is located in southern Spain at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It has a long history dating back to the 5th century BC and has been ruled by various powers, including the Visigoths, Moors, and Christians.

Granada contains significant historic and architectural sites reflecting its long history under various rulers, most notably the Alhambra palace and Generalife gardens built by the Moors. Important Renaissance and Baroque buildings were also added after the Christian reconquest of the city.

3. History
Pre-Nasrid
The city has been inhabited from the dawn of history. There was an Ibero-Celtic settlement
here, which made contact in turn with Phoenicians, Carthagenians and Greeks. By the 5th century
BCE, the Greeks had established a colony which they named Elibyrge or Elybirge . Under Roman
rule, in the early centuries CE, this name had become quot;Illiberisquot;. As Illiberis, the city minted its own
coins. The Visigoths maintained the importance of the city as a centre of both ecclesiastical and civil
administration and also established it as a military stronghold. It was also managed by Byzantines for
60 years.
A Jewish community established itself in what was effectively a suburb of the city, called quot;Gárnataquot; or
quot;Gárnata al-yahud”. It was with the help of this community that Moorish forces under Tariq ibn-Ziyad
first took the city in 711, though it was not fully secured until 713. They referred to it under the Iberian
name quot;Ilbiraquot;, the remaining Christian community calling this quot;Elviraquot;, and it became the capital of a
province of the Caliphate of Cordoba. Civil conflicts that wracked the Caliphate in the early eleventh
century led to the destruction of the city in 1010. In the subsequent reconstruction, the suburb of
Gárnata was incorporated in the city, and the modern name in fact derives from this. With the arrival
of the Zirid dynasty in 1013, Granada became an independent emirate Taifa of Granada. By the end
of the eleventh century, the city had spread across the Darro to reach what is now the site of the
Alhambra.
4. History
Nasrid Kingdom of Granada
In 1228, with the departure of the Almohad prince, Idris, who left Iberia to take the Almohad leadership, the
ambitious Ibn al-Ahmar established the longest lasting Muslim dynasty on the Iberian peninsula - the Nasrids.
With the Reconquista in full swing after the conquest of Cordoba in 1236, the Nasrids aligned themselves with
Ferdinand III of Castile, officially becoming a tributary state in 1238. The state officially became the Kingdom of
Granada in 1238.
Granada was held as a vassal to Castile for many decades, and provided trade links with the Muslim
world, particularly the gold trade with the sub-saharan areas south of Africa. The Nasrids also provided troops
for Castile while the kingdom was also a source of mercenary fighters from North Africa.
Historic map of Granada by Piri Reis
On January 2, 1492, the last Muslim leader, Muhammad XII, known as Boabdil to the Spanish, surrendered
complete control of Granada, to Ferdinand and Isabella, Los Reyes Católicos , after the city was besieged.
See Nasrid dynasty for a full list of the Nasrid rulers of Granada. The most prominent members of the dynasty
were:
Mohammed I ibn Nasr (died 1273), the founder of the dynasty
Yusuf I (1334–1354)
Muhammed V (1354–1391), builder of the royal palace within the Alhambra
Muhammad XII of Granada, the last of the line, who surrendered in 1492 to Ferdinand and Isabel and was
given the Alpujarras mountains to rule to the East of Granada, although he left for Tlemsen in Morocco.
5. History
Granada after 1492
The capture of Muslim Granada by the forces of Ferdinand and Isabella is one of the more significant
events in Granada's history. The terms of the surrender treaty explicitly allowed the city's Muslim
inhabitants to continue unmolested in their faith and customs. By 1499, however, Cardinal Francisco
Jiménez de Cisneros grew frustrated with the slow conversion efforts of Granada's first
archbishop, Fernando de Talavera, and undertook a program of forced baptisms. Cisneros's new
tactics, which were a direct violation of the terms of the treaty, provoked an armed revolt centered in
the Alpujarras, a rural region to the southwest of the city. In response to the rebellion, in 1501 the
Castilian Crown rescinded the surrender treaty, demanding that Granada's Muslims convert or
emigrate. While many elites chose to emigrate to North Africa, the majority of the city's Muslims
converted to Christianity while keeping their Islam secretly, becoming Moriscos, Catholics of Moorish
descent.
Over the course of the sixteenth century, Granada took on an ever more Christian and Castilian
character, as immigrants flocked to the city from other parts of the Iberian Peninsula. The city's
mosques, some of which had been established on the sites of former Christian churches, were
converted to Christian uses. New structures, such as cathedral and the Chancillería, or Royal Court of
Appeals, helped transform the urban landscape, and in the wake of the 1492 Alhambra decree that
expelled Spain's Jewish population, Granada's Jewish neighborhood was demolished to make way for
new Christian and Castilian institutions.
The fall of Granada holds an important place among the many significant events that mark the latter
half of the 15th century. It ended the eight hundred year-long Islamic presence in the Iberian
Peninsula. Freed from internal conflict, a unified Spain embarked on its greatest phase of expansion
around the globe, leading to the arrival in the Americas by Isabella's protégé Christopher Columbus.
Subsequent colonization led to the creation of the Spanish Empire, the largest empire of the world for
its time.
