In the long battles that broke out between them on the Spanish peninsula, the Muslims and the Christians alternated their superiority in the alternating tides. The Almoravid crossing to Andalusia made clear that Islam in Spain had come to an end.
Alfonso VI is called Caesar over Spain, but everything changed after the battle of Zalqa, and Christianity in the peninsula threatened to perish at the hands of Muslims, as was Islam before. Excel again.
When Christian Spain was torn apart after the death of this powerful Caesar, and the conquests of the Almoravids in Andalusia and the neighboring lands led to a new change in the course of events, Islam regained its supremacy again, and the supremacy of Christianity withered and it seemed that it would not be able to rise from its stumble.
The study aims to shed light on the most important situations that pertain to the state of Andalusia and the conflict of the northern Christian Castilian kingdoms in it, at a time when the Almoravid state, led by Youssef bin Tashfin, worked to confront the attacks of the Christian Castilian kingdoms in Andalusia and eliminate the independence of all the states of the rebellious sects.
This study also deals with the most important course of the conflict events carried out by the northern Christian kingdoms that took place in Andalusia, and the response of the Almoravids and their emirs to the invasion and encroachment and the attacks they carried out specifically in the country of Andalusia. Also, the strengthening of academic studies specialized in the subject of conflict in Andalusia by the northern kingdoms, and the performance and skill of the Almoravid state in confronting them and confronting them with strength and firmness, as studies in this field are few, and if any, they are considered very scarce and did not pay attention to studying the subject during the era of the Almoravid state.
