Reino de Granada. (Kingdom of Granada)

El Reino de Granada fue el último estado islámico de la Península Ibérica.

El reino de Granada es fundado por Muhammad.  El Rojo (1232-1273) tras un conflicto con (after a conflict with) Murcia, logrando constituir un señorío en (Guadix -Baza) Jaén desde donde, en poco tiempo, planea ocupar (plans to occupy)  Granada. Así ocurre en año 1237 cuando entra y toma la ciudad sin demasiada oposición fundando allí un nuevo reino (founding a new kingdom) dirigido por la omeya Nazarí, conocida, entre otras muchas cosas, por ser artífice de la magnífica obra de la Alhambra de Granada.


Además de iniciar la construcción de esta maravilla arquitectónica Muhammad I ampliará las fronteras (the frontiers) del reino hasta Málaga y Almería, territorio que se mantendría, con poca diferencia, hasta el final del emirato acaecido en 1492 a manos de los Reyes Católicos. (the Catholic Monarchs) Respecto a la relación con otros reinos peninsulares, en los primeros años de existencia de Granada se confirma la sumisión a Fernando III, rey de Castilla, a través del pacto de Jaén donde el musulmán le prestaba vasallaje al castellano a cambio de poder conservar el pequeño reino. De carácter positivo fueron, al contrario que las anteriores, las establecidas con el norte de África como por ejemplo aquellas que permitían el comercio de oro con Sudán, siendo Granada el principal proveedor, hasta la llegada de los portugueses, de ese metal en Europa.
