About This Book

The author surveys the transformation of Iberian society during the decline of the Visigothic order and the rapid Muslim conquest that established an emirate and later a caliphate. Political and administrative developments are traced alongside relations among Christians, Muslims, and Jews, emphasizing legal status, intermarriage, and social accommodation. Attention is given to ecclesiastical life, clerical influence, monastic fervour, episodes of martyrdom and apostasy, and patterns of resistance and collaboration. Chronological narrative is combined with case studies of councils, persecutions, and the regional fragmentation that reshaped religious identities and governance.
