[QUOTE]Originally posted by kdolo: [QB] One thing that has always irked me has been the name of the movement to expel the Moors. 'RECONQUISTA'. It means: reconquest. What this suggests is that the Visigothic people intended to re-conquer that which they had already conquered.....the intriguing question then is from whom did they conquer Spain ???? By calling their movement a Reconquest it is possible that they considered the Moors to be descendants of people they previously conquered/expelled. More study is needed in this area ....the lack of clarity suggests that something is being hidden. The official definition of the Rexonquest is: ' From Northern Africa in 711, the Muslim Umayyad dynasty entered Europe and sparked a Muslim versus Christian war called the Reconquista, or the Reconquest (ie: The Christians "reconquering" their lands as a religious crusade)." This definition smacks of White lies.....reconquer means that you previously conquered it And that you are not the original holder of the land. The million dollar question is from whom exactly did you conquer it from in the first place. By using 're', it suggests that the Moors were there first.....(tho clearly not as Muslims). So, what are the connections between Spain and North Africa/Moors prior to Visigothic conquest. Who were the occupants of Spain at that time....ehnically.... [/QB][/QUOTE]
