History
The Iberian Peninsula was conquered by the Umayyad Caliphate in the 8th century and reaching its greatest extent in 734, as a province of the Umayyad Caliphate, began to fall apart after being held at the Pyrenees and the Franks. Disagreements between the Arab and the Berber commanders were exacerbated by the loss of the control by the Umayyads.
