Description: The Moor's Last Stand by Elizabeth Drayson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "Published in Great Britain in 2017 by Profile Books Ltd"--Title page verso. Publisher Description The Moors Last Stand presents the poignant story of Boabdil, the last Muslim king of Granada. Betrayed by his family and undermined by faction and internal conflict, Boabdil was defeated in 1492 by the forces of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of the newly united kingdoms of Castile and Aragon. The Christian victory marked the completion of the long Christian re-conquest of Spain and ended seven centuries in which Christians, Muslims, and Jews had, for the most part, lived peacefully and profitably together. Five centuries after his death, Boabdil continues to be a potent symbol of resistance to the forces of western Christendom, and his image endures in contemporary culture. Based on original research in the region by a leading historian of Granada, this book presents a vivid account of Boabdils life and times and considers the impact of his defeat then and now.
