'Islamic Spain', known as Al Andalus has entered into its swan song years. The powerful Christian Kingdoms of Iberia are ready to strike the final blow. However, in midst of this chaotic time, a new kingdom arises and with it, a new dynasty. The Nasrid come to power and through luck, cunning, and shear audacity hold power in Granada for over 260 years. But, despite leaving an impressive cultural legacy, the Nasrid Dynasty is destined to be the Last Kingdom of Islam of the Reconquista. === AN AMAZING THANK YOU === A huge shout out to Brian Catlos, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder.
