Excellent summaries and great discussion about the period leading up to the first Case Study about the final stages of the Muslim occupation of Spain.

Well-researched, well-prepared presentations - students made an effort to understand the background and we can now move on to the next stage of the history of Spain and we are going to look at the actual case-study.

We are going to break it down to 5-hour chunks and discuss each aspect?
