Nasrid
The Capitulation of Granada by F. Pradilla y Ortiz, 1882: Muhammad XII surrenders to Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile.
The Nasrid dynasty or Banuu Nasri (Arabic: بنو نصر) was the last Arab and Muslim dynasty in Spain. The Nasrid dynasty came to power after the defeat of the Almohad dynasty in 1212 at the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa. Twenty-three different emirs ruled Granada from the founding of the dynasty in 1232 by Muhammed I ibn Nasr until January 2, 1492, when Muhammad XII of Granada surrendered to the Christian Spanish kingdoms of Aragon and Castile. Today, the most visible evidence of the Nasrids is the Alhambra palace built under their rule.
