Emirate of Badajoz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Emirate of Badajoz was a small Muslim kingdom centred on the city of Badajoz which exists today as the second city of Extremadura, Spain. It rose, like the other taifa kingdoms of Spain, after the fragmentation of Al-Andalus in the late 900s and early 1000s. It was invaded and conquered several times, by various neighbouring kingdoms, the Almoravids and Almohads (along with many other Muslim kingdoms), Portugal and finally by Castilla, which went on to form modern Spain with Aragon.
