Nasrid dynasty founded in Granada
1232
Muhammad I ibn al-Ahmar, a resourceful Arab chieftain, established the Nasrid Emirate of Granada by submitting to Castile as a vassal while building an independent Muslim state in Andalusia's mountains. His dynasty would survive two and a half centuries as Islam's last foothold in Iberia, sheltered by diplomacy and geography.
