When The Moors Ruled In Europe

Part 2 (1x2)

Fecha de emisión: Nov 05, 2005

Join British historian Bettany Hughes as she examines a long-buried chapter of European history – the rise and fall of Islamic culture in what is now Spain and Portugal. Although generations of Spanish rulers have tried to expunge this era from the historical record, recent archaeology and scholarship now shed fresh light on the Moors who flourished in Al-Andalus for more than 700 years. Part 2 deals with the conflict between the Moors and medieval Christendom, the re-conquest of Al Andalus and the destruction of Muslim Spain.
