Full detailed commission for customer from FA. The Reconquista! A bit of historical information concerning this piece:Between 710 and 1492 A.D the Islamic conquest of the Iberian Peninsula by the Moor Caliphate and other forces of Islam many Christians were faced with the choice of death, conversion, emigration, or being subject to a costly jizya tax to continue living there. As a result many Christians left or were forced to leave. Fortunately Christendom was not to be defeated or accept their land and homes being taken from them.The Reconquista of Spain was a significant event in Christianity, lasting over 700 years, and it represented one of the greatest successes in what would become Crusader Knight history entailing many great battles and victories by the forces of Christendom. With courage the stalwart knights fought to take back what was stolen by the Islamic Moors and stopped the Muslim conquest into Spain and what would likely be Western Europe shortly thereafter. The victories by the knights in Spain would forever shape the Spanish and European world, and was also a unique time in history in which several Holy Knight Orders including the Knights Hospitaller, Knights Templar, as well as Spanish specific military orders such as the Knights Calatrava worked together to fight in the name of God. -- source link
