Hello everyone, this is Kori again, and today we are going to continue talking about Spain in the Middle Ages.
00:00:02
We are first going to talk about life in Al-Andalus, then we will talk about Al-Andalus society, and finally we'll discuss the legacy of Al-Andalus.
00:00:12
Let's begin!
00:00:28
Life in Al-Andalus
00:00:33
Life was peaceful, except for the battles at the borders with the Christian kingdoms.
00:00:35
So for the most part, life was calm and peaceful, but it was not peaceful at the borders where there were battles.
00:00:44
Government
00:00:59
Cities were ruled by a governor who lived in the Alcazaba, which is a fortress.
00:00:59
So, a governor ruled the city.
00:01:12
Economy
00:01:17
Many people were merchants, which means they bought and sold things.
00:01:18
They did this in a place called Asuk.
00:01:26
There were also farmers and experts in irrigated farming.
00:01:31
Irrigated farming is a type of farming where you apply controlled amounts of water to the plants.
00:01:40
Some new foods were introduced in Spain by the Muslims.
00:01:53
Things like rice, wheat, and oranges were brought to Spain by the Muslims.
00:01:58
Religion. Many people were Muslims. Some people were Christians, and some people were Jews.
00:02:05
Culture. People spoke Arabic.
00:02:16
Al-Andalus society. People of different origins and religions lived side by side in Al-Andalus.
00:02:27
So people from different backgrounds and different beliefs were able to live together in Al-Andalus
00:02:40
There were the Muslims who were the conquerors
00:02:53
There were the Mozarabs who were Hispano-Visigothic followers of Christianity
00:02:58
And there were the Jews
00:03:07
who were the followers of Judaism.
00:03:10
Christians and Jews could live where they wanted to
00:03:18
and practice their religion.
00:03:22
So they could live anywhere and they could practice their religion.
00:03:25
They could believe whatever they wanted to believe.
00:03:29
But they couldn't have authority over a Muslim
00:03:33
or carry weapons. So Christians and Jews could not have more power than a Muslim and they couldn't
00:03:39
carry weapons. Christians and Jews had to pay special taxes. So they had to pay more money.
00:03:52
They had to wear a special badge, and they had to obey Muslim laws.
00:04:03
The Legacy of Al-Andalus
00:04:14
Al-Andalus became an important center for economic, scientific, and cultural developments.
00:04:24
The Muslims introduced new irrigation techniques.
00:04:34
things like water wheels, wells, and ditches. The fields were filled with new crops, so there were
00:04:42
new types of fruits and vegetables being grown. There were fruits like pomegranates, melons,
00:05:01
and oranges, vegetables like aubergines and artichokes, as well as rice and
00:05:10
cotton. And the Lucy mathematicians introduced Arabic numerals. This includes
00:05:21
the number zero. So these mathematicians introduced the people to the number zero
00:05:34
They also introduced papermaking and the game chess.
00:05:42
Many words in Spanish come from Arabic.
00:05:48
I'm going to do my best to pronounce these correctly.
00:05:56
Here are some words in Spanish that came from Arabic.
00:06:00
Asayeti, alcalde, jinete, cero, ojala, and ola.
00:06:05
All right, so that is all for now. Goodbye!
