ALMANZOR - Abu Amir Muhammad ibn Abi Amir al-Mansur

Dotado de una personalidad carismática y de un gran talento militar, entre los años 977 y 1002 llevó a cabo un total de 56 campañas en tierras cristianas sin conocer la derrota, razón por la cual recibió el sobrenombre de al-Mansur (el Victorioso), con el que pasaría a la historia. De hecho, se trataba de incursiones rápidas y devastadoras, realizadas durante los meses de primavera y verano, que tenían por objeto sembrar el terror entre los habitantes de los reinos cristianos del norte peninsular. Así, por ejemplo, asoló Salamanca (977), venció a los ejércitos coligados de Ramiro III de León, García Fernández de Castilla y Sancho II de Navarra en las batallas de Gormaz, Langa y Estercuel (977) y en la de Rueda (978), saqueó Barcelona (985), arrasó Coimbra, León y Zamora (987 y 988), asaltó Osma (990) y castigó Astorga (997).
La gesta más memorable del caudillo árabe se produjo, sin embargo, el 11 de agosto del 997, cuando destruyó Santiago de Compostela (sólo respetó el sepulcro del apóstol) y obligó a los cautivos cristianos a trasladar a hombros las campanas de la catedral y las puertas de la ciudad hasta Córdoba. Cinco años más tarde, de regreso de una expedición contra San Millán de la Cogolla, cayó enfermo y murió en Medinaceli, el 10 o el 11 de agosto de 1002.

@Almanzzor And speaking of the kingdom of Granada, Granada andalusis, in the fifteenth century spoke only arabic, but his arabic was flooded with Latin terms. Dressed partially like their neighbors in Morocco, but with many clothes identical to the Iberians of the north, and its food, traditions, etc, was still filled with autochthonous features.

90% of the ancestors of the andalusis and somewhat less in terms of their culture, are roots of iberian origins.

[elandaluzi]

@Almanzzor Not to mention the all-important presence of Christians and Jews. Mozarabic Christians formed the majority of the andalusi population during the eighth and ninth centuries. And they were a minority always important to the eleventh century.

The Jews were a minority huge, right up to the eleventh century and remained in Granada to the XV.

[elandaluzi]

@Almanzzor The surnames, even following the Arab-Muslim system, maintained in good part andalusis muslmanes name of Latin origin. Rumi, guti, Quzman, etc, etc.

And as for clothes, NO, did not exist in IX or XI century something like clothing "common" Arabic. And in Al-Andalus, limit the world of Muslim rule, was fundamentally auctoctona clothing, at least during the early centuries.

[elandaluzi]

@Almanzzor No. Andalusis spoke Arabic, "Mozarabic" and Berber. The common people, speak "Mozarabic" were Muslims, Christians or Jews, until the eleventh century. As late as the thirteenth century there is documentation of trials in which a devout Muslim, was tried by reading the sura yusuf in Mozarabic. Arabic was a language of rulers and rich men. I do not deny, the Arab influence in our cultural heritage (and more so in the Al-Andalus era), but andalusis were not simply "Arabs".

@mierdasforu Ouga ouga. And ? Andalusis spoke Arab, had Arab names, had Arab cloth and had often Arab blood. This is the definition of being Arab. Why do you think we speak of Arabo-andalusís ?

[mierdasforu]

@Almanzzor Freak, you are not andalusian

[Almanzzor]

@mierdasforu Am I the only who is shocked by the foolishness of MIERDAsforus ?

[mierdasforu]

@Almanzzor problems of identity? you have thats proplems... is obviously, you are a fuckin french with a andalusian name... you are a wannabee. Give it up, do not worry so much about my country and do it for your country, you are not andalusian and never will be

Almanzor = ANDALUSIAN

Arabs = Born in Arabia

[Almanzzor]

@mierdasforu But lol... Almanzor was Arab by his blood and his country (al Andalus was already quite arabized in the 10th century, and the elite backround of Almanzor was totally Arab).

My only problem with you is that you don't want to accept the truth, perhaps because you are too much silly, or perhaps because your problems of identity are too important.
