Almoravid Empire | 1035CE - 1121CE

Happy Holidays, everyone!
The Muslims of Al Andalus were in trouble. The Christians to the north were constantly at war with them. Toledo had fallen. All the Ta’ifas were within reach. Their doom was inevitable. For a moment, it looked like Muslims were about to be expelled from Spain. However, to the south, a new empire was emerging. A religious movement born in the hot desert of Northern Africa that would become a force to resist the Christian advance in Spain.
Additional Facts:
1)
The fact that “at the start of the empire, taxes were low but the revenues were high” and “at the end of the empire, the taxes were high but the revenues were low” was written about by Ibn Khaldun which was read by Ronald Reagan, who got a huge boner from it.
2)
In my last episode, I accidentally said that Alfonso took Zaragoza after Toledo but in fact, he had only besieged the castle and hadn’t reduced it yet. That was my mistake and I apologize for it.

My ancestors were royal guards for the Kings of Leon-Castile established in AD 1,006 (oldest active royal guard in Europe) There is a lot of Reconquista blood in my heritage so this particular series of this channel is very interesting to me and your doing it such great justice I love Muslim/Medieval Iberia.

Actually Morocco's official name was the kingdom of Marrakech مملكة مراكش until early 1960 when Mohammed 5 died and Hassan 2 took the throne and changed the regime from a Sultanat to a kingdom. Morocco is derived from Marrakech or " Amur N yakuch" which means land of god in Berber. In Spanish Morocco is Marruecos and to this day in Persian its Marrakech. Since it was our capital under the Almoravids al-mohaid and saadi dynasties.

When I was first introduced to your channel I thought that it's BazzBattles but focusing on Islamic history. Your channel opens my eyes that there were rather few pious, capable and responsible leaders in Islamic history, just like all over the world.

Okay, ok, one big issue with this video. Almoravids were Saharan Berber tribes therefore why are you showing pictures of only light skinned Moors? They were apart of the Othman Empire which today we call Nigeria. They were the Moors of the old. The Citizens of Spain weren't happy with policies of the New Moors and decided to restore power to the Moors of the old (Othman Empire) which also included Mauritania, Sudan, Nigeria and Morocco.

yeah, could only watch half the video... Your are filling the gaps of history with weak analysis and misinterpretations...look up flash point history on youtube, done a better job overall on the reconquista

[@Ferroes]

Taha Aharaz; I disagree, his gaps are mainly miniature internal fueds or their lack of unity and his Analysis are relatively impressive for how short the video is. I don't think I saw any misinterpretation so you're free to point them to me with the exception of El Cid.

[@AlMuqaddimahYT]

Can you point a few out, please?

[@AlMuqaddimahYT]

What's that about El Cid?

[@Ferroes]

Al Muqaddimah; in the video you called Valencia a puppet state of king Alfonso as El Cid, a former general of the king, had high administrative position in the city-state which, while true, does not signify it is a puppet state. In reality, the sole reason why El Cid ruled in name of King Alfonso is to ensure peace knowing that it is unlikely he can defend against the brunt of a Spanish onslaught and this can be seen by his conduct before and after entering into Service for the Taifa of Zaragoza: prior to being accepted into Zaragoza asking for hospitality as he was exiled from Hispania for insubordination. After being granted hospitality by Sultan Yusuf, he offered his military services to him which he accepted and promptly which he defeated the Spanish in the Battle of Morella. So shocked King Alfonso was by this, he almost immediately recalled him from Exile and reaffirmed El Cid's loyalty to Alfonso which he did as one would do in the 11th century but this was, of course, tmall in name as promptly after affirming he didn't stay long and returned to Zaragoza shortly after (although I don't remember how long he stayed). Not long after this, he would do numerous affront conducts that clearly is of more benefit to him than to Hispania. Here are a handful of examples: kidnapping the dude who ran barcelona (forgot if duke, noble, or the such) and then returning him his freedom in exchange of their children's marriage to strenghten ties and ensure no battle between the two would occur, the conquest of numerous municipalities and creating a relatively large fiefdom, and the fact that he did little to aid Alfonso against the invading Almovarid, as well as the fact that no one religious adherents are barred from gaining federal administrative positions and that there were no Jizya against muslim or christians alike in Valencia. Tl;dr, Valencia wasn't actually a pupet state but only in name
