<P> The Caliphate of Córdoba collapsed in 1031 and the Islamic territory in Iberia fell under the rule of the Almohad Caliphate in 1153 . This second stage was guided by a version of Islam that left behind the more tolerant practices of the past . Al - Andalus broke up into a number of taifas (fiefs), which were partly consolidated under the Caliphate of Córdoba . </P> <P> The Kingdom of Asturias, a small northwestern Christian Iberian kingdom, initiated the Reconquista ("Reconquest") soon after the Islamic conquest in the 8th century . Christian states based in the north and west slowly extended their power over the rest of Iberia . The Kingdom of Navarre, the Kingdom of Galicia, the Kingdom of León, the Kingdom of Portugal, the Kingdom of Aragon, the Marca Hispánica, and the Crown of Castile began a process of expansion and internal consolidation during the next several centuries under the flag of Reconquista . In 1212, a coalition of Christian kings under the leadership of Alfonso VIII of Castile drove the Muslims from Central Iberia . The Portuguese side of the Reconquista ended in 1249 with the conquest of the Algarve (Arabic: الغرب ‎--al - Gharb) under Afonso III . He was the first Portuguese monarch to claim the title "King of Portugal and the Algarve". </P> <P> The Moorish Kingdom of Granada continued for three more centuries in southern Iberia . On 2 January 1492, the leader of the last Muslim stronghold in Granada surrendered to the armies of a recently united Christian Spain (after the marriage of Ferdinand II of Aragón and Isabella I of Castile, the "Catholic Monarchs"). The Moorish inhabitants received no military aid or rescue from other Muslim nations . The remaining Jews were also forced to leave Spain, convert to Roman Catholic Christianity, or be killed for refusing to do so . In 1480, to exert social and religious control, Isabella and Ferdinand agreed to allow the Inquisition in Spain . The Muslim population of Granada rebelled in 1499 . The revolt lasted until early 1501, giving the Castilian authorities an excuse to void the terms of the Treaty of Granada (1491). In 1501, Castilian authorities delivered an ultimatum to the Muslims of Granada: they could either convert to Christianity or be expelled . </P> <P> The Inquisition was aimed mostly at Jews and Muslims who had overtly converted to Christianity but were thought to be practicing their faiths secretly . They were respectively called marranos and moriscos . However, in 1567 King Philip II directed Moriscos to give up their Arabic names and traditional dress, and prohibited the use of Arabic . In reaction, there was a Morisco uprising in the Alpujarras from 1568 to 1571 . In the years from 1609 to 1614, the government expelled Moriscos . The historian Henri Lapeyre estimated that this affected 300,000 out of an estimated total of 8 million inhabitants . </P>
