Islamic Spain, which emerged when Abd-al Rahman III was proclaimed caliph, remained stable throughout the three centuries of the independent emirate of Baghdad (756-929) and the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbSoK0_CxNM Caliphate of Cordoba] (929-1031), both represented on the maps of the same name. The caliphate brought peninsular Islam to its zenith and slowed down the northern kingdoms. Its swan song was the rule of Almanzor (929-1002), the favourite of the caliph Hisham II, the terror of the Christians.

In Christian Spain, when Ordoño II (914) transferred the court to León, the Asturian-Leonese kingdom was formed, soon to be only Leon. The county of Pamplona also became a kingdom. In the Pyrenees, the counties of Aragon, Sobrarbe and Ribagorza followed, and between these and the sea, the Catalan counties were consolidated, particularly Urgel and Barcelona (the Berenguer dynasty).<br>The death of Almanzor (1002) precipitated the implosion of the caliphate which, in contrast to the unifying Christian project of Sancho III el Mayor de Navarra, fragmented into independent kingdoms: the taifas. The most extensive were the ones on the border: Badajoz, Toledo and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pok_-X7Xtus Zaragoza]. The others were small but soon the ones of Sevilla and Valencia stood out and, along with them, those of Málaga, Granada and Almería, the future kingdom of Granada.

In the west, Fernando I of Castile united his kingdom with the kingdom of Leon. His son Alfonso VI was the conqueror of Toledo (1085). In the east, Alfonso I of Aragon conquered Saragossa in 1118; and the marriage pact of Count Ramón Berenguer IV of Barcelona with the child Queen Petronila (1137), joined the Catalan counties with the emerging kingdom.<br>Conquered by the Christian Monarchs (12<sup>th</sup> and 13<sup>th</sup> centuries), the taifas were incorporated with their own characteristics, and their names resounded in the titles of the Christian Monarchs, which were also monarchs of the Algarve, Toledo, Badajoz, Murcia, Jaen, Valencia, Majorca and so on.<br>

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXb9S3N334A Granada], the fifth kingdom, survived as a trade link between Africa and the East. Castile had to face the North African invasion of the Benimernes in El Salado and Palmones battles and then focused on the opening of the Gibraltar Strait, with the conquests of Tarifa, Algeciras and Gibraltar. Later, under the rule of the Trastámara dynasty, enthroned after a civil war (1336-1339), they put greater pressure on the Nasrid borders and took Zahara (1407), Antequera (1410) and Archidona (1462).

With the advances to the South, it was necessary to populate the new territory. At first, some peasants, the ''foramontanos'', came down from the North and occupied these empty lands and some monks (Mozarabs) also went up fleeing from the Muslims and built monasterys. It was the Asturian-Leonese ''presura'' and the sub-Pyrenean ''aprisio'' system.

<font style="color:#f29050">'''10<sup>th</sup> – 11<sup>th</sup> centuries '''</font>
To legalise the occupations and encourage repopulation, the Monarchs promoted councils, through the granting of ''cartas pueblas'', or municipal charter with privileges for those who populated an area.<font style="color:#f29050">
