Siege of Grenada (Crusader World)

Siege of Grenada
The Siege of Grenada (1190-1192) was what many concieved as the end of Islamic influence in Europe. The Spanish caliphate was corrupt, and many of their soildiers had gone to save the Holy Land.

The Spanish, seizeing on this oppourtunity, united and overran most of the nation. Until they reached Grenada.

The Muslims their were trying to hold of Spanish soildiers so that Muslim civilians could evacuate. In order to do this, they used every delaying action they could. In the meantime, the heavy Spanish casulties were considered a plus.

But, Spanish numbers eventually overwhelmed the defenders, and, the day Grenadas wall was breached, the Muslims set fire to the city and fled across the Strait into North Africa. This last action saved what was left of the army.
