NEW VERSION: • Abd al-Rahman I, the Falcon of al-Andalus... In episode 26 Abd al-Rahman I, the Falcon of al-Andalus, you’ll discover how a refugee Umayyad prince managed to travel to the borders of the Islamic West to found an independent emirate, the Emirate of Córdoba. His rise and consolidation of power in al-Andalus was a process full of complications, and he had to face almost annual revolts against his authority. I also cover aspects such as the Umayyad family in Córdoba, their foreign and domestic policy, and their construction work with the building of the Umayyad Alcázar and the Great Mosque of Córdoba.
