Cordoba (Knightfall)

The Emirate of Cordoba is a country in southern Iberia. It is ruled by the Berber Almoravids. Cordoba came to existence after the collapse of Spain in 12??.

History
Cordoba has existed in previous forms as the First Emirate of Cordoba, the Caliphate of Cordoba, the Almoravid nation, and most recently as the Second Emirate of Cordoba. When Spain collapsed, the Almoravids invaded southern Spain from Morocco, taking advantage of the chaos. Seville and Cordoba fell quickly due to poor defense, but the Siege of Valencia lasted nearly a whole year. The city fell after the death of the last claimant to the crown of Spain. The Muslim reconquest ended two years later after the Almoravids were thrown back at Toledo by the newly forged Castile.
