Chapter 16 Flashcards
El Cid
vassal to King Alfonso V of Castile, otherwise known as Rodrigo de Vivar. (King Alfonso V was put on throne after his brother died); when el cid went to swear fealty to Alfonso he said: “I’ll swear fealty to you if you swear you had nothing to do w/ the death of your brother.” King Alfonso V gets very angry (and swears) and later finds some reason to banish el cid from Castile. But after Muslims attack from North Africa Alfonso invites El cid back to fight against Muslims. El cid is seriously wounded at Valencia (where Muslims are attacking), and El cid eventually dies and his wife finishes battle and ends up saving the city. signif: Muslims from Africa are driven back thanks to El Cid and his wife.
Inquisition
court of Dominicans to investigate religious crimes. (way of punishing guilty and protecting innocent) Gave people a chance to convert; people were rarely tortured (and it was just for a limited time, w/ no permanent mark, a doctor close by, and only tortured once. If they repented all they got was penance (and sometimes a debt) signif: protected the innocent; was best and just court at time;
Columbus
needed $ for ship and crew to reach the spice islands (goodies for Spain); Isabel liked Columbus b/c he was very devout and religious. He asks her for $, she tells him to come back when the war’s over, then once the war’s over, she funded for Columbus’ ship. signif: with help of Isabel, helped keep Spanish Catholicism for a little longer -?
What were the 5 problems Fernando and Isabel faced & how they were solved?
- Invasion from Portugal
- Isabel had to recruit army and Fernando had to train it. (defeat Alfonso the Fat) - Badnity
- they made a group to defeat the bandits: Santa Hermandad (Holy Brotherhood) - Corrupt noblemen
- Isabel gave them the choice to swear fealty or else Fernando would attack them with his army. - Corruption into Church
- Isabel knows Church needs good holy bishops, so she finds some and submits them to Pope and he appoints them as bishops. - Muslims
- Muslims invading Granada; Isabel decides to end Muslim rule (which ends the Reconquista); Muslims had forts, which must be invaded one at a time, and that’s what they did (invade Granada); one after another they took forts (finally they get to Grenada-main capital- which they put a siege on.) Muslim king, Boabdil, wanted to surrender but his Mom told him not to; but after several months, he surrendered. (Isabel allows him to leave peacefully) and all of Spain is united.
