king of See also:Castile, Fernando the See also:Saint, was conquering See also:Andalusia. The See also:dynasty was of remote Arabic origin, but its immediate source was the See also:mountain range of the Alpujarra, and the founder was Yusuf (or Yahia) 1'Nasr, a See also:chief who was engaged in perpetual conflict with See also:rival chiefs and in particular with the See also:family of Beni-Hud, once See also:kings at See also:Saragossa, who held the fortress of Granada. Yusuf's See also:nephew (or son) Mahommed completed the defeat of the Beni-Hud largely by the help of the king of Castile, to whom he did See also:homage and paid See also:tribute. Mahommed I., called el Ghalib, i.e. the Conqueror (1238-1273), served the See also:Christian king against his own co-religionists at the See also:siege of See also:Seville and contrived to See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape in the See also:general See also:wreck of the Mahommedan See also:power. The See also:internal See also:history of the dynasty is largely made up of See also:civil dissensions, See also:personal rivalries, See also:palace and See also:harem intrigues. The See also:direct male See also:line of Mahommed el Ghalib ended with the See also:fourth See also:sultan, Nasr, in 1314. Nasr was succeeded by his See also:cousin Imail (1314-1325), who is said to have been connected with the See also:original stock only through See also:women. From Mahommed el-Ghalib to Mahommed XI., called See also:Boabdil, and also the little king " El Rey Chico " by the Christians, who lost Granada in 1492, there are counted twenty-nine reigns of the Nasrides, giving an See also:average of nine years. But there was not the same number of sultans, for several of them were expelled and restored two or three times. Nor did all the members of the See also:house who were allowed to have been sultans reign over all the territory still in Mahommedan hands. There were contemporary reigns in different parts, and tribal or See also:local rivalries between See also:plain and See also:- HILL

hill, and the chief towns, Granada, See also:Malaga and See also:Guadix. The dissensions of the Nasrides reached their greatest See also:pitch of fury during the very years in which the See also:Catholic sovereigns were conquering their territory piecemeal, 1482-1492. Their position imposed a certain consistency of policy on these sultans. They submitted and paid tribute to the kings of Castile when they could not help doing so, but they endeavoured to use the support of Mahommedan rulers of See also:northern See also:Africa whenever it was to be obtained. Granada became the recognized See also:place of See also:refuge for rebellious subjects of the kings of Castile, and on occasion
supported them against rebels. The end came when the weakness See also:plateau having an See also:elevation of about 1800 ft. through which a of Mahommedan rulers in See also:Morocco coincided with the See also:rule of
strong sovereigns in Castile. Frontier See also:wars between Mahommedan and Christian borderers were incessant, and at See also:long intervals the kings of Castile made invasions on a considerable See also:scale, without, however, following up any successes they might gain. The See also:comparative prosperity of Granada was due to the concentration of a large See also:population driven from other parts of Spain, and the consequent See also:necessity for the intensive cultivation of the See also:rich valleys lying among the ranges of mountains which encircle the See also:kingdom, and the extensive " See also:Vega " or plain of Granada. The reputation for See also:civilization which the agitated Mahommedan See also:state enjoys in history is based on the surviving parts of the highly decorated fortress palace of the See also:Alhambra, which was mainly the See also:work of three of the sultans, the founder, Mahommed el Ghalib, and his two successors.
