Morisco Revolt in the Alpujarras
1568
Muslim converts in the Alpujarra mountains south of Granada rose against Philip II's decrees banning Arabic dress, language, and customs. The revolt dragged on for two years and ended with the mass deportation of Moriscos to other parts of Spain. Iberian religious uniformity was grinding toward its final, brutal conclusion.
