Hello everyone, this is Kori. Today we are going to be talking about Spain in the Middle Ages.

2
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:19,289
First, we'll go over our timeline. We had Roman Hispania, the Visigothic Kingdom of Toledo,

3
00:00:20,010 --> 00:00:30,699
and Al-Andalus. In the Roman Hispania, we had the arrival of the Visigoths in the year 416.

4
00:00:30,699 --> 00:00:36,659
In 476 was the fall of the Roman Empire

5
00:00:36,659 --> 00:00:41,759
Next we have the Visigothic Kingdom of Toledo

6
00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:45,939
In 507 we had the Kingdom of Toledo

7
00:00:45,939 --> 00:00:50,719
In 711 we had the Moorish Invasion

8
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:54,520
Next we have Al-Andalus

9
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,570
First we have the Emirate

10
00:00:58,570 --> 00:01:01,670
In 711 it was dependent

11
00:01:01,670 --> 00:01:17,170
in 756 it was independent, in 929 was the Caliphate, 1031 Typha kingdoms, and 1492

12
00:01:17,170 --> 00:01:29,439
was the Christian conquest of Granada. Here we have the breakup of the Roman Empire.

13
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:39,480
In 476, the Roman Empire fell, marking the beginning of the Middle Ages.

14
00:01:40,099 --> 00:01:51,879
From the 6th century onwards, three major civilizations dominated the former Roman Empire.

15
00:01:52,819 --> 00:01:58,299
We had the Byzantium, the Visigoths, and the Muslims.

16
00:01:58,299 --> 00:02:08,139
the Eastern Roman Empire was the Byzantium German tribes who created feudal kingdoms

17
00:02:08,139 --> 00:02:17,979
were called the Visigoths and they settled in Hispania then we had the Muslims followers of

18
00:02:17,979 --> 00:02:30,659
Islam. Over here in our map you can see future feudal Europe is marked by the

19
00:02:30,659 --> 00:02:42,610
dashed line. Down here with this darker green is the birthplace of Islam. The

20
00:02:42,610 --> 00:02:47,930
lighter green shows the Islamic territory on the death of Muhammad in

21
00:02:47,930 --> 00:03:03,919
632 and these red arrows show Islamic expansion. Now let's talk about the

22
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:12,879
Visigothic Kingdom of Toledo. In 507 the Visigoths founded a kingdom in

23
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:21,159
Hispania with Toledo as its capital. The Visigoths conquered most of the Iberian

24
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:35,110
Peninsula. Government. The king made the laws, but sometimes he had special meetings with nobles

25
00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:49,949
and bishops. These meetings were called the Council of Toledo. Economy. Most Visigoths

26
00:03:49,949 --> 00:03:58,430
lived in small rural communities dedicated to arable and livestock farming.

27
00:03:59,550 --> 00:04:05,009
The people were poor. They did not have money. They were not wealthy.

28
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:08,189
Religion.

29
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:19,889
King Ricardo converted to Catholicism in 589, and this united the Visigothic kingdom under one religion.

30
00:04:20,490 --> 00:04:33,089
So the king converted to Catholicism, and the Visigothic kingdom was all under one religion.

31
00:04:35,379 --> 00:04:35,800
Culture.

32
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:47,040
Visigoths learned to speak Latin. Saint Isidoro of Seville was a bishop and an important thinker.

33
00:04:47,040 --> 00:05:00,339
He was the first Christian to write an encyclopedia. Alright, that's all for now. Goodbye!
