The Fall of Granada 1492: End of al-Andalus

In this episode, we explore the ten-year war that ended Muslim rule in Iberia: the Conquest of Granada (1482–1492). Lucas walks Luna through the final campaign of the Catholic Monarchs, the siege of Granada, the role of Boabdil (Muhammad XII), and the stunning Alhambra itself. We examine the Treaty of Granada's promises of toleration—quickly broken—and how this single event set the stage for the Spanish Inquisition, the expulsion of the Jews, and Columbus's voyage in the same year. From the Nasrid dynasty's last stand to the birth of a unified Spain, this is a turning point that reshaped Europe and the world. #Granada #Reconquista #Boabdil #Alhambra #NasridDynasty #CatholicMonarchs #FerdinandAndIsabella #1492 #TreatyOfGranada #Capitulations #AlAndalus #Alpujarras #SpanishHistory #SiegeOfGranada #Columbus #Inquisition #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
