Nasrid Raid On Murcia (1392)
The Nasrid raid on Murcia of 1392 was a localized frontier conflict near Lorca between the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada and the Crown of Castile. Background Muhammad VII succeeded to the Nasrid throne in October 1392. At the time, there was a truce with Castile in effect. Since truces were considered personal undertakings by the sovereigns that needed to be confirmed at the start of a reign, the succession of a new ruler often created a situation of increased tension along the border. Muhammad intended to maintain the truce with Castile, while at the same time adopting a more belligerent attitude.Francisco Vidal Castro"Muhammad VII" '' Diccionario biográfico español'' (Real Academia de la Historia, 2018). With this policy, he sought to take advantage of the minority of Henry III and the divisions it created at the court to strengthen his hand.Francisco Vidal Castro, "Historia política", in María Jesús Viguera Molíns (ed.), ''El reino nazarí de Granada (1232–1492)'', Vol. 3 ...

Crusade Of 1394
Muhammad VII () ( 137013May 1408; reigned 3October 139213May 1408) was the twelfth Nasrid ruler of the Muslim Emirate of Granada in Al-Andalus on the Iberian Peninsula. He was the son of Yusuf II (reigned 1391–1392) and grandson of Muhammad V (reigned 1354–1359 and 1362–1391). He came to the throne upon the death of his father. In 1394, he defeated an invasion by the Order of Alcántara. This nearly escalated to a wider war, but Muhammad VII and Henry III of Castile were able to restore peace. In 1404–1405, Muhammad VII concluded a treaty of friendship with Martin I of Aragon and engaged Charles III of Navarre in talks, thwarting Henry III's attempt to enlist those two monarchs as allies against Granada. In 1406, he and Henry III renewed their truce, but it was overshadowed by Muslim raids—possibly not authorized by Muhammad VII—on Castilian territories. Henry III was now intent on war against Granada, but on 25December 1406 he died. Henry's 1-year-old son Jo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
