Umayyad conquest of Hispania » Wiki (Topic)

The Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula (Arabic: فَتْحُ الأَنْدَلُس, fatḥu l-andalus; 711–720s), also known as the Arab conquest of Spain, was the Umayyad conquest of the Visigothic Kingdom of Hispania in the early 8th century. The conquest resulted in the end of Christian rule in most of Iberia and the establishment of Muslim Arab-Moorish rule in that territory, which came to be known as al-Andalus, under the Umayyad dynasty.
