Spain and Portugal Part 2 Video descriptions and links
In this Part of the history of Spain and Portugal, I talk about the late Visigoth rule, it’s collapse , conquest by the Umayyads, the establishment of the Kingdom of Asturias and beginning of the Reconquista. This period is very complicated to keep track of because of the many states and shifts of rulers throughout this period. But I think I did manage to talk about the more important events and mentioned the major figures of the time
