The History Of Islamic Capture Of Spain

Abstract: 15 pages in length. At the time when Spain was converted to Islam, North African armies were instrumental in initiating the centuries-long Moorish epoch. Seven eleven was the year that Tarik ibn Zizad and his army of twelve thousand soldiers entered Spain. The Berber and Tangier governor arrived as guests of a Visigothic clan in order to add their support to King Roderic's impending ascension; however, when the king ultimately met his fate while in battle, he left Spain without a leader. The writer discusses the occurrences after the Islamic capture of Spain. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
