"The Moors in Spain" by Stanley Lane-Poole is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the rich history and cultural legacy of the Moors in Spain, detailing their contributions to art, science, and architecture during their nearly eight centuries of rule over the Iberian Peninsula. It aims to present an unbiased view of their impact on Spanish civilization, contrasting their time of enlightenment with the subsequent period of decline after their expulsion. The opening of the book contextualizes the arrival of the Moors in Spain, beginning with the account of Tarik's invasion and the downfall of the Visigoths. Lane-Poole discusses the deterioration of the kingdom under Roderick, highlighting the corrupt and depraved state of society that allowed for the quick subjugation by the Muslims. The narrative introduces key characters and events leading to the significant battle at the Guadalete, where the Moors defeated the Spanish forces led by Roderick, setting the stage for their conquest and the transformation of Spain into a beacon of culture and knowledge during the Middle Ages. This early section lays the foundation for understanding the complexities and dynamics between the conquering Moors and the native populations they ruled.
