Taifas | 30 independent kingdoms, no diplomatic relations, don't speak to each other, military rivalries, conquer each other, lack armies so employ Christian mercenaries, must pay parias to Christians |
3 Reasons for Importance of Parias | 1) made Christians wealthy 2) supported a bigger military 3) brought wealth to the church: specifically Cluny Abbey in Cluny, Burgundy, France |
1085 AD | Toledo buffer zone is reconquered by the Christians under King Alfonso VI, Almutamid poet & leader of Sevillan Taifa panics & asks for help from Moroccan fundamentalist group Almoravids who come and take over Muslim Spain instead of helping |
Almoravids and End of al-Andalus | Almoravids stop paying the parias so Pope Urban II sends a crusade against them, they ask for help from Almohads who come but only control what is now Andalusia |

After Alfonso X | Goes to civil war w/ son Sancho IV. Sancho's son Alfonso XI is most powerful monarch w/ regnal power but dies so leaves kingdom of Castile to son Pedro I & gives bastard son Enrique II county of Trastamara |
1st Castilian Civil War | Aristocracy wants more power & less for regnal monarch so chooses Enrique as leader against his brother so war begins becomes part of 100 years war between France & England, England supports Pedro b/c his daughter marries John Lancaster. |
End of 1st Castilian Civil War | Enrique kills Pedro for throne & France wins 100 years war. Enrique has a son Juan I who marries Leonor of Aragon. They have two sons Enrique III & Fernando de Antequera. |
Treaty of Bayone 1388 AD | Creates peace between castile & England & legitimizes the Trastamara dynasty through the marriage of Enrique III and Catherine of Lancaster b/c she is the last descendent of the Burgundy dynasty so it unites both. |
Juan II | Enrique dies leaving power to son Juan II, but is too young so is ruled by mother Catherine who dies then Uncle Fernando de Antequera. Juan II's great uncle Martin I of Aragon dies so two people can succeed to the thrown: Juan II or his uncle Fernando |
Compromise of Caspe | in the compromise, the aristocracy of Aragon decides that Fernando will be king of Aragon, so now the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon are both under the Trastamara dynasty |
Juan II's children | Juan II has two marriages, son from first is Enrique IV then Alfonso (XII) and Isabel. Enrique becomes King & wants the regnal power but the aristocracy doesn't want that. |
Farse of Avila | Aristocracy used Alfonso to become leader of their fight against the monarchy so is king for a day Alfonso (XII). He dies so his sister Isabel becomes the leader of the fight & marries Fernando prince of Aragon. Enrique IV dies & acknowledges daughter. |
2nd Castilian Civil War | Pope recognizes Isabel and Fernando's marriage making it legitimate so now Isabel and Juana fight for control of Trastamara dynasty between Castile and Aragon |
