¡Viva la Reconquista!-JW

Real Crusades History #267. And don't forget the Real Crusades History website!

At the close of the fifteenth century, all of Iberia has been recaptured by the Christians save for the tiny Emirate of Granada, hugging the southeastern tip of the peninsula. However, when Isabel I of Castile weds Fernando II of Aragon, two of Spain's greatest Christian powers are united, and they are committed to the total reconquest of the peninsula.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
