By the middle of the fourteenth century, Christian control of the Iberian Peninsula extended to the borders of the emirate of Granada, whose Muslim rulers acknowledged Castilian suzerainty. No longer threatened by Moroccan incursions, the kings of Castile were diverted from completing the Reconquest by civil war and conflicts with neighboring Christian kings. Mindful, however, of their traditional goal of recovering lands formerly ruled by the Visigoths, whose heirs they claimed to be, the Castilian monarchs continued intermittently to assault Granada until the late fifteenth century. Matters changed thereafter, when Fernando and Isabel launched a decade-long effort to subjugate Granada. Utilizing artillery and expending vast sums of money, they methodically conquered each Na?rid stronghold until the capitulation of the city of Granada itself in 1492. Effective military and naval organization and access to a diversity of financial resources, joined with papal crusading benefits, facilitated the final conquest. Throughout, the Na?rids had emphasized the urgency of a jih?d waged against the Christian infidels, while the Castilians affirmed that the expulsion of the "enemies of our Catholic faith" was a necessary, just, and holy cause. The fundamentally religious character of this last stage of conflict cannot be doubted, Joseph F. O'Callaghan argues.

Описание: In Reinventing Jihad , Kenneth A. Goudie provides a detailed examination of the development of jihad ideology from the Conquest of Jerusalem to the end of the Ayyubids (c. 492/1099–647/1249). By analysing the writings of three scholars - Abu al ?asan al Sulami (d. 500/1106), Ibn ?Asakir (d. 571/1176), and ?Izz al-Din al-Sulami (d. 660/1262) - Reinventing Jihad demonstrates that the discourse on jihad was much broader than previously thought, and that authors interwove a range of different understandings of jihad in their attempts to encourage jihad against the Franks. More importantly, Reinventing Jihad demonstrates that whilst the practice of jihad did not begin in earnest until the middle of the twelfth century, the same cannot be said about jihad ideology: interest in jihad ideology was reinvigorated almost from the moment of the arrival of the Franks.
