The Reconquista is underrated. The Spanish and Portugese monarchs, the crusading orders, the aristocrats and commoners deserve more credit. Is there a video covering the Battle of Lucena 1483?

[@TheBigdaddy64]

Longest lasting war in world history, 700+ years with an estimated 7 million casualties.

[@julia2k8]

What Muslims conquered in just 7 years, the ✝️umor conquered in 800 years! Pathetic 🤣🤣🤣

[@Thor-Orion]

I’m ethnically gothic. The Reconquista is an incredible story of resilience.

[@LandgraabIV]

I saw his tomb in the Seville Cathedral two weeks ago. Very solemn place.

[@abcjuniormilton]

I went to Seville and it's cathedral too nearly six years ago, and may have visited his tomb.

[@oolooo]

The Hispanic World recognizes him and his son as two of its greatest Monarchs

[@fredazcarate4818]

There is no such thing as a Hispanic world. Yet there is one Spain. As for the word Hispanic that is made up word from the United States Of America. The US government Anglicize the Latin word Hispanicus dropped the u and created this word. In my day we used the correct term Iberian. And I am retired from the Federal Government.

[@reygonzalez4719]

It's nice to see a video like this, it feels like the reconquest is overshadowed by many other events and doesn't get talked about very often.

[@alexcavazos3341]

It rarely gets talked about unless you're of Spanish decent, it's common history is Spanish speaking countries. Since without it not only would Europe likely have been conquered by Muslims but without it the Spanish empire would not be nearly as impactful or powerful. The reconquista was one of middle ages Europe's most important events.

[@reygonzalez4719]

@@alexcavazos3341 I know, Portugal and Spain both are very important to history of the world. Without them the world will look so different

[@abcjuniormilton]

San Fernando nearly completed the Reconquista. He was at it's last steps. I have been to Sevilla and it's cathedral, and may have seen his tomb there. A true hero of Christendom, and the fact that he's one of the only kings (along with King Louis IX of France) to be christened as a saint is testament to that. He makes me proud of my Spanish heritage (I'm Mexican of mostly Spanish descent).

[@baha3alshamari152]

Why wasn't Granada reconquered till 1492

[@abcjuniormilton]

@@baha3alshamari152 I think because the Muslim rulers there were already paying tribute to the Christians. Also because Granada is surrounded by mountains so it wasn’t as easy to reconquer.

[@samuelflorenciooliveira1179]

@@baha3alshamari152 Granada became vassal of the Kingdom of Castille

[@CarvedStones]

@@abcjuniormilton It’s actually because it was a tribunal kingdom that was paying off to the kingdom of Castile, basically making them filthy rich. It would’ve been conquered much sooner but there was setbacks of disease, infighting, and of course the tribute money was too good.

Thanks for making justice to the incredibly underrated San Fernando, patron saint of my city Sevilla!! This year I went to see his uncorrupted remains in the cathedral, which are exposed only once a year, and it's truly mind blowing, he's so well for being a thousand years old!

Southern California, where my people come from, is full of place names deriving from the long history of the struggle with Islam. The northern half of the City if Los Angeles (itself named after the Virgin Mary - El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles aka The City of Our Lady The Queen of the Angels) is the San Fernando Valley, often called The Valley. It is named after the hero of this program. So is the Franciscan Mission at its heart.

[@alexcavazos3341]

South California was Spanish n Mexican territory. That's why, same with Florida, anywhere where the Spanish touched they left their culture

Fernando III el Santo, fue sin duda el Rey más humilde y mejor Caballero de la Cristiandad. Siendo niño estuvo muy enfermo y su madre, Dña Berenguela, le pidió a Nuestra Señora por la curación de su siervo Fernando. Estuvo en campaña contra el islam permanentemente, sin descanso, de hecho murió en la cincuentena muy deteriorado físicamente. Solo nombraré de sus muchas proezas militares la toma de Córdoba, que empezó en un descuido de los sarracenos que aprovecharon unos almogávares, estos habiendo tomado parte de la ciudad pidieron ayuda al Rey Fernando, y este claro que acudió, fue incansable hasta el final. Le sucedió su hijo Alfonso X el Sabio, otro grandísimo Rey, y basta decir que la máxima condecoración a los héroes, en el ejército español es la Laureada de San Fernando.
