Queen Isabel and the Granada War - Part 2: Crusade Resumed


1482: War erupts between the Kingdom of Léon-Castile and the Emirate of Granada. Rodrigo Ponce de Leon, Marquis of Cádiz, captures a key Moorish stronghold, Alhama, in the very heart of Granada's territory. But Muley Abul-Hassan, Emir of Granada, gathers a large army to storm Alhama and reclaim it. Now, Rodrigo and his men desperately hold the walls, hoping for aid from King Fernando and Queen Isabel.

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.
