Description
Caliphs and Kings: Spain, 796-1031
Historian Roger Collins offers a fresh look at the complex truth behind the myth of ninth- and tenth-century Spain, where Christianity, Judaism, and Islam coexisted in a period of relative harmony. This book synthesises existing knowledge and explores new historical perspectives to strip away the myth and reveal the underlying circumstances that shaped the Iberian Peninsula.
Collins examines the forces that divided Spanish society, leading to the implosion of the Umayyad regime and the eventual civil war that marked the end of this unique era. By stripping away the myth and revealing the complexities beneath, Collins provides a nuanced understanding of this pivotal period in Spanish history.
