The Caliphate of Cordoba does not long…
964 CE to 1107 CE
The Caliphate of Cordoba does not long survive Al Mansur's dictatorship.
Rival claimants to the throne, local aristocrats, and army commanders who stake out taifas (sing., taifa), or independent regional city-states, tear the caliphate apart.
Some taifas, such as Seville (Spanish, Sevilla), Granada, Valencia, and Zaragoza, become strong emirates, but all face frequent political upheavals, war among themselves, and long-term accommodations to emerging Christian states.
