The Foundation and Struggle of Nasrid Sultanate | 1227CE - 1354CE | Al Andalus #11

In the aftermath of the collapse of Almohad Caliphate, the people of Al-Andalus were staring down the barrel of the Christian gun. They needed someone who could defend them. In these circumstances, one by one cities fell until Granada was the last man standing.

Additional Facts:

1)
Ismail was a maternal grandson of Muhammad II through his daughter Fatima, hence he was the nephew of Muhammad III and Nasr. He was also a cousin of them through his father Faraj, the nephew of Muhammad I.

2)
During the reigns of her grandsons, Muhammad IV and Yusuf I, Fatima bint Muhammad became a powerful political figure and wielded considerable influence comparable to Kosem Sultan in the later Ottoman Empire.
