April 27, 711: The Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula begins when Tariq ibn Ziyad landed in Gibraltar and defeated the Visigoth army of King Don Rodrigo at the Battle of Guadalete. The Muslim invasion of the Iberian Peninsula began and the end of the Visigoth kingdom of Hispana. It is not known whether Don Rodrigo was the last Visigoth king, or whether it was Agila II or perhaps Ardón. The important thing is that in a few years, the Visigoth dynasty had to take refuge in Septimania and a small redoubt in the mountains of Asturias, from Don Pelayo, began the reconquest of the old Visigoth kingdom. Attempts have been made to explain the fall of the Visigoth kingdom through legends, such as that of the Cave of Hercules in Toledo or the legend of Florinda and the betrayal of the governor of Ceuta, Don Julián. The reality, however, is in the division of the kingdom and the advance of the Umayyad army in North Africa. 📜BIBLIOGRAPHY ►Luis A García Moreno: History of Visigothic Spain and The End of the Visigothic Kingdom of Toledo.
