everyone


THE FIRST TAIFA PERIOD:


"The Cordoba caliphate effectively collapsed during a ruinous civil war between 1009 and 1013,although it was not finally abolished until 1031.Al-Andalus then broke up into a number of mostly independent states called Taifas.These were generally too weak to defend themselves against the reapted raids


and demands for tribute for the christian states to the north and west,which were known to the muslims as "Galician nations",and which had spread fron there initial strongholds in Galicia,Asturias,Cantabria,the Basque country and the Carolingian Marca Hispanica to become the kingdoms of Navarre,Leon,Portugal,Aragon and the County of Barcelona.Eventually raids turned into conquests,and in response the taifa kings were forced to request from the Almoravids,Islamic rulers of the Maghreb.There desperate maneuver, would eventually fall into there disadvantage,however.as the Moravids they had summoned from the south went on to conquer many of the taifa kingdoms."
