Levy, and David Widger "Chronicle of the Conquest of Granada" by Washington Irving is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work chronicles the tumultuous events surrounding the fall of Granada, the last stronghold of the Moors in Spain, detailing battles, political intrigues, and cultural contrasts between Christians and Muslims during this significant period of history. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the Kingdom of Granada, emphasizing its rich history and beauty, shortly before outlining the tribute it was forced to pay to the Castilian Crown. The text highlights the internal struggles of the Moorish monarchy, particularly focusing on King Muley Abul Hassan and his tumultuous reign marked by domestic feuds among rival sultanas, which foreshadowed the kingdom's eventual downfall. A pivotal moment occurs with the diplomatic mission of Don Juan de Vera, sent by the Castilian monarchs to demand tribute, illustrating the mounting tensions that would lead to an all-out conflict as both sides prepared for a war that would determine the fate of Granada.
