 | | The conquest of much of the Byzantine Empire and Babylonia by the armies of the newly emerged Islam generally improved the life of the Jews, though they were still considered second-class citizens. | | | The final expulsion of the Jews, and the largest, occurred after the Christian conquest of Spain in 1492. | | | While Jewish communities throughout the Islamic world were often treated well by their Muslim rulers, depending on the regime in power, Jewish communities in Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East were at times subject to persecutions, expulsions, and forced conversion. |

| | Level Three |
| | Finally, the complex interactions between Muslims, Jews and Christians – each group ethnically, politically and religiously diverse – will be investigated in the light both of internal affairs and wider pressures from the Christian and Islamic powers of the medieval Mediterranean world. | | | The Christian and Jewish communities of Visigothic Spain were swiftly overwhelmed and, for the next three hundred years, most of Iberia was under Muslim rule. | | | The conquest led not only to the political, social and cultural transformation of the peninsula, but also to the emergence of an independent Muslim caliphate geographically and politically distanced from the Muslim heartlands. |

| | Moors encyclopedia and info, forum and guides |
| | The Muslim conquest of Iberia was undertaken by Arab caliphates. | | | Some scholars propose that the characterization of the Islamic civilization in Iberia as "Moorish" is a misnomer which implies the predominance of Berber traits in the civilization, rather than Arab and Islamic ones. | | | The country then broke up into a number of mostly Islamic fiefdoms, which were consolidated under the Caliphate of Cordoba. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: Books: The Literature of Al-Andalus (Cambridge History of Arabic Literature S.) |
| | The Literature of Al-Andalus is an exploration of the culture of Iberia, present-day Spain and Portugal, during the period when it was an Islamic, mostly Arabic-speaking territory, from the eighth to the thirteenth century, and in the centuries following the Christian conquest when Arabic continued to be widely used. | | | Edited by an Arabist, an Hebraist and a Romance scholar, with individual chapters compiled by a team of the world's leading experts of Islamic Iberia, Sicily and related cultures, this is a truly interdisciplinary and comparative work which offers a radical new approach to the field. | | | It also extends the subject to other literatures - especially Hebrew and Romance literatures - that burgeoned alongside Arabic and created the distinctive hybrid culture of medieval Iberia. |

| | Battle of Covadonga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Battle of Covadonga was the first major victory by a Christian military force in Iberia following the Islamic Moors' conquest of that country in 711. | | | Taking place about a decade later, most likely in the summer of 722, the victory at Covadonga assured the survival of a Christian stronghold in northern Iberia, and today is regarded as the beginning of the Reconquista. | | | On July 9, 721, an Islamic force that crossed the Pyrenees and invaded the Kingdom of the Franks was defeated by them near Toulouse, in the Battle of Tours, in modern France. |

| | This marked the beginning of the Muslim conquest of Iberia in which most of peninsula came under Islamic rule by 718. | | | A Visigothic nobleman, Pelayo, is credited with beginning the Christian Reconquista of Iberia in 718, when he defeated the Umayyads in battle and established the Kingdom of Asturias in the northern part of the peninsula. | | | At its greatest extent, before their defeat at the Battle of Vouillé in 507, the Kingdom of the Visigoths included all of Iberia except for small areas in the north (belonging to the Basques) and in the northwest (the Suevi kingdom), plus Aquitania and Gallia Narbonensis in what is today France. |

| | The modern name of Gibraltar comes from the name of the Berber leader - Tarik ibn Zeyad who took the Rock in 711AD and thus started the conquest of Iberia. | | | Across the Straits lies the mountain of Jebel Musa in memory of another great Islamic war hero and these two peaks zealously supervise the busy interchange between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. | | | Gibraltar is derived from Jebel Tarik - the mountain Tarik which forms the basic substance of the great Rock itself. |
