1248 CE

Ferdinand III besieges and captures the Moorish stronghold of Seville, the capital of al-Andalus, in 1248.

Following their victory, the Spanish Christian conquerors evict the defeated Moorish inhabitants from their homes, and assume control of vast estates.

(The eventual result of this act, perpetrated for the first time in Muslim Spain, will be economic ruination in the region.)
