Popular films, books, and culture present the Spanish and Portuguese Middle Ages as a period dominated by religious warfare (Reconquest/Reconquista), social violence, and changing borders. The kingdoms that came to dominate Iberian life – Castile-Leon, the Crown of Aragon, Navarre, and Nasrid Granada – between 711 and 1492 offer a complex history filled with religious coexistence, political expansion and contraction, and social change. Drawing upon readings of primary and secondary sources, this course aims to study the Spanish and Portuguese Middle Ages through themes of crusading, religious interaction (Islamic, Christian, and Jewish), colonization, and conflict between the Umayyad expansion into Iberia in 711 and the expulsion of Iberian Jews and Muslims after 1492. This course will ask students to think critically about the broader role of Iberia in European, North African, and Near Eastern history between medieval and early modern worlds that looks beyond notions of reconquest and convivencia.
