After centuries of Muslim rule in Al-Andalus, scattered bands of Christian warriors in the remote mountains of northern Iberia rose up in defiance. What began as a small rebellion would ignite an epic struggle lasting over 700 years-the Reconquista. In this episode, we uncover the birth of the first Christian stronghold, the Kingdom of Asturias, and follow the brave leaders who carved out footholds in a land long dominated by the Umayyad Caliphate.
As the Christian kingdoms of León, Castile, Navarre, and Aragon gained power, the balance of control in the Iberian Peninsula shifted. Through relentless battles, strategic alliances, and unbreakable faith, they slowly reclaimed territory, village by village, fortress by fortress.
But it was the legendary union of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile that would forever change the destiny of the peninsula. Their marriage not only unified Spain's two most powerful kingdoms, but also set the stage for the final conquest of Granada, the last Muslim stronghold, and the completion of the Reconquista. Together, they forged the foundations of modern Spain, launching an era of exploration, empire, and cultural transformation.
Join us as we explore this turning point in history, when faith, politics, and power converged to create a nation that would dominate the world stage.
