The '''Reconquista''' was the reconquest by [[Christian]]s of the Iberian Peninsula (present day [[Spain]] and [[Portugal]]), which was under [[Islam]]ic control. The Reconquista lasted from c.722 AD with the success of [[Pelayo]] over the Islamic armies at [[Covadonga]], and was completed in 1492, when the Christian Spanish [[King]] [[Ferdinand]] and [[Queen]] [[Isabella]] gained control of the only remaining [[Moor]]ish enclave (the small [[Kingdom]] of [[Granada]] in southern Spain).

As part of the "Rechristianization" process after the long war which had seen non-Christians work with the Islamic invaders, the [[Spanish Inquisition]] was begun, and the [[Jewish]] population of Spain was expelled.
