The fact that the northwest survived (beyond specific Musilim raids and attacks) shows two things: 1)The Witizan faction of the Gothic Kingdom retained their strongpost in the peripheral parts of the peninsula. 2) The power structures and implantation of the Suebi in the northwest was way more solid and valid that those of the Visigoths. In fact, the continuity of the division and administration of the land in Gallaecia carried by the Suebian kings can be seen in documents through all the High Middle Ages.

Great lecture! Just one critique that I would like to ramble on about... It seems to still give the popular impression of an Andalusian kumbaya paradise of equality between Moors/Muslims, Latins/Christmas and Jews in the Iberian peninsula which seems dated now. In my humble opinion a more detailed video or series of videos like the ones you did on the Byzantine Empire would have given a clearer picture of this complex time period of the peninsula. For one, the conquering Muslims implemented several laws, not just the ONE about Christian men banned from marrying Muslim women, that made non-Muslims into third class citizens (second class citizens being those who converted to Islam). Consequently this helps explain why non-Muslims would have the incentive to convert to Islam. Admittedly it is a loaded topic which is hard to keep objective when one starts to throw in religions into the mix. Also, something that I think helps demystify this time period is the fact that the Arabs, like Turks, were nomadic like peoples, who when conquering urban civilizations would absorb and/or implement aspects of those conquered civilizations. Keeping that in mind helps illustrate a more pragmatic/realistic picture of what it was really like back then such as your example with El Cid. The Moors/Muslims incorporated Christians and Jews into their administration, but they did so as overlords utilizing useful subjects to help them rule and not as equals (lose parallel to Janissaries: Christian boy slaves who become incorporated into the master's culture/religion). An interesting example of the Moors/Muslims incorporating elements of the conquered Latin/Visigothic culture in the Iberian peninsula can be found in architecture; those famous arches of the mosque of Cordoba, the builders got those arches from the Romanesque architecture of the Visigoths, who got it from the collapsed Western Roman Empire, and those same striped arches can be found in the capital of the surviving sister empire to the east, Constantinople. The last thing I'll ramble on about because I have become a fan of your chanel, is that your mention of the Spanish language not being the same after the Moorish invasion...is kind of misleading, if I got your meaning. I can say as a fluent Spanish speaker (and linguistic enthusiast) that the influence of the Arabic language on Castilian/Spanish, and for that matter Portuguese and Catalan, was less than the effect French had on English after the Norman invasion (look at how different Old English is from Middle English). Castilian/Spanish remains a thorough romance language directly descended from the vulgar Latin spoken in the Roman province of Hispania. The influence of Arabic was adding vocabulary to these languages (in Spanish almost all words that start with 'Al'). Out of all romance languages (including Portuguese, French, Romanian, etc) Spanish is the most similar phonetically to Italian which is essentially modern Latin (Latin is not really a dead language people, it simply evolved). Interesting side note: the Sephardic Jews expelled from Spain who went on to live in Eastern Europe and Turkey and are now mostly in Israel, to this this day, speak a medieval version of Spanish which they call Ladino (cognate of Latino or in English Latin) which remains very little changed from modern Castilian/Spanish.

It wasn't the caliphate that took the beating, it was the 20 + taifa petty kingdoms that lost territory after a long civil war since the death of the last legitimate Caliph Hisham II. It was the taifa kingdoms that invited the Almoravids to defend them, almost a century after the the (fitnah) - series of civil wars that marked the death of the caliphate and the emergence of dozens of petty kingdoms and city states- started.It's a shame that you missed that chapter since it's the most important and interesting.

@@konsyjes Euskera is the standard Basque language meant to harmonize some 8 or 9 different dialects. Vascos is what they call themselves; the Romans would have called these mountain and coastal tribes "barskunes, autrigones, etc". Owing to the Roman influence, the Latin used officially in Villas and small townships then spread, the native language either fell out of use locally or just merged to create vulgar Latin languages. Just as Spanish is popular today in the Basque country as a lingua franca, Euskera or the local dialects are limited to rural regions. Plenty of Basque words in Spanish though. Aquitanian which is no longer spoken appeared to linguistic experts closest to the Basque dialects and language. Older relatives of mine only speak the central Biscayne dialect for example and they find Navarros or Souletine Basque dialects bemusing or just plain odd and different. Their grandparents I believe wouldn't have called their language "Euskera" , the term itself coined in the late 19th century. Most Biscayans emigrated to America anyway and so spoken Basque in Argentina for instance would have reflected the regional varieties. The survival of this mother tongue is relatively slim, I count four cousins of some 20 odd who are well versed in the local Biscayne dialect. The rest Spanish speakers in the main.

Great presentation. However, Kingdom of Aragon narrative is incorrect and the map outline is incorrect. The Kingdom of Aragon did not rule over the region of Kingdom of Valencia or the Principality of Catalonia. In fact, the Crown of Aragon was created by a union of the House of Barcelona and the Queen of Aragon to become the Crown of Aragon. The Kingdom of Valencia was a later addition to the Crown of Aragon, as well the Kingdom of Majorca being a later addition after King Jaume I invaded the Balearic Islands. Other notable missing pieces is the creation of the Marca Hispanica by Charlemagne the Great from which Andorra as well many of Catalonia's counties of today are derived from. The Marca Hispanica, for the most northern part near the Pyrenees, is the portion of Visigothic Tarraconensis that was not fully controlled or conquered by the Moors. Approximately, the borders from Barcelona/Barcino along the Llobregat River to the Ebro River was virtually a no-man's land between Christian forces to the north and Muslim forces to the south. Eventually, under the Count of Barcelona (Wilfred the Hairy) and later counts the no-man's land of the Tarraconensis became under Catalan rule. This is why this region of Catalonia is considered Nova Catalunya versus the older Catalunya of Barcelona, Girona, and the upper stretches of Lleida provinces of today. This also includes Catalunya Nord with its ancient counties before the Treaty of the Pyrenees where Spain gave France its villages to the north (excluding Llivia, as it was considered a town) and now is a detached portion of Spain inside of France. BTW, Spain as a nation-state did not come in until the 1800s for those who want to claim that Catalonia was never a sovereign nation. Last time I checked, a principality like Andorra and Monaco are sovereign or are recognized as nations. Wales as a principality is recognized as a nation although it is highly dependent upon the United Kingdom. So arguments that Catalonia was never a sovereign nation is 100% completely false. Catalunya is a millennial nation and considered unified in c. 988 AD. Where was Spain as a country? Nowhere to be seen.

The French, after some time fought back and managed to expel them from today’s France and ruled for some time the northern part of the region called Cataluña. ONLY the north of Spain remained , free from muslim control, Asturias , the province of Santander, and the three small basque provinces were not conquered . Cataluña has never been independent .

Hi Thersites, this is a good work. However you made the systematic mistake of calling Spain to the Iberian Peninsula. This mistake made your work reductinist because you missed some important points e.g. the heritage from the Muslim period is very strong in Portugal. In Portugal, every second town or village name is explicitely or etimologically connected with an Arabic denomination. Did you know the Portuguese language has way more influence of the Arabic language than the other languages still spoken in Spain? This influence is what explains the Portuguese phonetics sounding "hard" for other European people, including Castellanos. It is interesting to observe how the Portuguese Lisbon accent is similar to the Arabic speaking accent.

Amazing video... But it would be a whole lot better if you invested a little time into researching how to pronounce the regions of Spain. Navarre is so bad I didn't even understand what you was talking about.

Please pronounce Navarre correctly

I applaud your excellent presentation. Much detail but not too much for a bite-sized video. (I wish you had a more Spanish pronunciation of Navarre. Also Averroes.) Spain was a critical agent in the rise of modern Europe. Previously, northern Europe had been backward, illiterate, and impoverished. Andalucia was cultured, highly literate, and relatively wealthy for the times. Huge credit goes to the Arabs and Jews. My first eye-opener was reading Washington Irving. Expelling the Moors & Jews has cos Spain dearly. Their national decline since that time has been rapid. The Christians that "won" with the reconquista were intolerant, bigoted, (and actually, their own worst enemies.) I feel like one of the miracles of history was the Ottoman role in rescuing Jews at that critical moment. If you get a Catholic education, I hope you are fortunate enough to study Thomas Aquinas. Modern scholasticism, which helped trigger the Renaissance, owes a huge debt to the Andalus, and the Jewish and Arab Aristotelians. So many words in our language, particularly related to Astronomy, Math, algebra, chemistry -- have come to us from the Arabs (and Jews) via southern Spain. Even spices. Words like cinnamon and coffee are of Arabic derivation. In Spanish, the influence of Arabic is even more profound. It was "bad luck" (the evil eye) for Spain and Portugal when they expelled the Jews. But it was good luck for the nations and kingdoms that received them -- including Turkey & the Balkans, the New World, the Netherlands. And eventually, England.

I may be getting a bit over my head here, but thinking back to pre-invasion Spain, I think the letter "X" is often used for the glottal sibilant sound, in names like "Ximena" - this seems to me perhaps a Greek influence, using the Greek letter X (Chi) for the sound to differentiate it from the very soft latin 'h' that is common in the Romance family. So I imagine it might possibly have sounded more like the Greek "x": soft but distinct.

Regarding the Muslim/Christian inter faith marriage laws, the official Islamic jurisprudential position on why Muslim men can marry non Muslim womem but not vice versa is because the wife is seen as in charge of moral guidance of the children. In Islamic theology, since Muhammad is the last prophet and Islam supersedes all other previous religions, there is no problem if say a Christian woman were to educate her children in Christian morality, but it would be problematic if a Muslim woman teaches her children Muslim morality. Islamic law stipulates that the husband has the final authority in family life, so if a Christian husband were to overrule a Muslim wife wanting say, her children to attend an Islamic school, this law is supposedly meant to protect the Muslim woman from being in the problematic position of having to chose between the supremacy of Islamic law which trumps Christian law, or her Christian husband.

You have made many errors. Most importantly the Visigothic kingdom fell, because of the slaughter by the invading Muslims. The Visigoths fled to the north, but the ones that could not make it were now stuck under Muslim rule. They could NOT become citizens! The women could marry in, and become third class citizens, the lowest on the totem pole. The men could NOT. Because of this they died off fairly quick. When the Muslims invaded he Iberian peninsula they enslaved many people, and killed even more. So the ones that couldn't leave had to pay a high dhemmi/tax, and lived like slaves. They had many rules that they had to obey, punishable by death. The couldn't ride horses like Every one else. They had to wear certain clothing, and a large patch. This was humiliation. They couldn't use weapons. They couldn't even talk back. There was numerous laws, all punishable by death. This was a horrible time. But this lie we are told about a Multicultural Utopia, where every race, and religion are equal, and live happily together is nonsense! This myth started around a century ago. Then it was really pushed by a communist that left Spain under Franco, and hated Spain, and it was clear in his writings. He spread this golden age nonsense, multicultural paradise nonsense. It's actually a well documents time period. Under Muslim law the Europeans under Muslim rule could NOT become a citizen. Not the men, just women if they were married in. So they died off fast in Muslim regions. When a city was taken back during the reconquest, here would be no free Europeans/Christians, just slaves. Safety was huge in the Islamic would. Every caliphate believed in slavery. Every Muslim empire from the Umayyads, to the Ottoman empire, they all had slaves. Mainly women. In the Iberian peninsula when they took back a region, they would find harems everywhere. Some wealthy Muslims even had over a thousand women enslaved in a harem. When Granada was taken back in 1492 there were many slaves, which were freed, and taken care of. Their chains were sent to hang off a cathedral in Toledo as a reminder to never let what they went through happen again. They still hang today, 500+ years later. I've been there, and it's a horrible sight. Scary. So this myth is highly offensive to Spaniards. I've spent much time in Spain my entire life, and have read documents from the La Reconquista, the reconquest, and have studied this time period, and it was a time of constant war. There were treaties, times of peace, mostly initiated by the Spanish, and Portuguese, but over all there was fighting. Over 1000 battles fought in 781 years.

The visigoths were such great rulers that the local peoples asked for foreign peoples who didn't even shared a religion with them to come to get rid of the visigoths. It's so lame that Spanish identity was built in the hatred of one of the most successful civilizations to ever inhabit this land.

@@josecipriano3048 Any proof for the crap youre talking about? Where did the local peoples asked for the Moors to invade their land? The myth that Muslims where "one of the most successful civilizations to ever inhabit this land" is just not true. In fact when the Moors invaded Spain they were amazed by the Visigoths. There are enough studies from historians like Darío Fernández-Morera who proof that, and archaeological finds like the Treasure of Guarrazar with the Royal Visigothic Crown shows what they were capable of. You could have even read that from Wikipedia if you would have educated yourself: "The Visigothic rule has often been attributed to be a part of the so-called Dark Ages, a time of cultural and scientific decay reversed only by Muslim Andalusia. Through the course of their existence the Visigoths supposedly remained "men of the woods never strayed too far from there," as Thomas F. Glick puts it. However, in fact, the Visigoths were preservers of the classical culture. The bathing culture of Andalusia, for example, often said to be a Muslim invention, is a direct continuation of Romano-Visigothic traditions. Visigothic Merida housed baths supplied with water by aqueducts, and such aqueducts are also attested in Cordoba, Cadiz and Recopolis. Excavations confirm that Recopolis and Toledo, the Visigothic capital, were heavily influenced by the contemporary Byzantine architecture. When the Muslims looted Spain during their conquest they were amazed by the fine and innumerable Visigothic treasures. A few of these treasures were preserved as they were buried during the invasion"

@@josecipriano3048 It wasn’t because the Hispano Roman’s hated the Visigoths, it was the horrible hierarchy structure that led the kingdom into disarray and civil war. It was actually stabilized during the reign of leovigildo and his son Reccerard when he converted to Catholicism and made it the state religion of the kingdom. There was even a time of peace during his reign. Only cut short by the political turmoil that plagued its nobility because the king inheritance structure was utter shit and led to power grabs. You can really tell the Visigoths were holding onto the old ways of how they chose leaders like the Balti dynasty. The Visigoths didn’t even tax the natives there as much as the Muslims loved doing, the Visigoths didn’t persecute the natives for their faith when they held a different one for a time, and unlike the Muslims, they actually allowed intermarriage between Hispano Romans goths (this allowed Hispano Roman’s to marry into nobility as you will see in the 7th and 8th centuries they became indistinguishable) only backed by their customary laws that served as Spanish law well throughout the reconquista. Muslim law didn’t allow a Christian man to marry a Muslim woman, only the other way around. Not to mention the sex slave trade the Muslims had. This is why the Christian kingdoms in the north built a shit ton of castles to act as buffer zones because of how scary the Muslims were. This is why Iberians hate the Muslims.

Man, you really need to work on your pronunciations. NAH-VAH-RAH. Not Navaree. And you mispelled Portugal in 25:50. Should've caught that. 27:08 And you mean, 48, right? Cause you said 84.

@@redafm4505 I was talking about Spain and Italy but OK. Also, *sighs* here's the record on the numbered Crusades. 1st: major Crusader victory 2nd: Crusader defeat 3rd: significant Crusader victory I have no idea where you got 'was a failure due to French/English infighting.' That infighting mostly died down when Philip left, and while there was still a succession crisis in the Kingdom of Jerusalem the 3rd Crusade was still a success. 4th Crusade: Crusader victory, though not against the intended target. 5th Crusade: Crusader defeat, exclusively because of the Nile river flooding. 6th Crusade: Crusader victory (through diplomacy) 7th Crusade: major Crusader defeat 8th Crusade: very minor Crusader defeat (ended when Louis died of disease 9th Crusade: very minor Crusader victory. So, not quite 'losing all other crusades'. I mean if we have stupid interpretations like jown you see the 3rd Crusade, then maybe. But again, I was talking about Spain and Italy. This was a response to 'The Mongols unintentionally saved Europe from Semitic Middle Eastern conquest. The mongol invasions were in the 13th century. If you can tell me where the Semitic Middle East was invading Europe successfully at that time, then fine. But the reconquista was decisively in Christian Spain's favor at that time, and the Norman conquest of Italy (including Arab Sicily) was pretty much done.
