Best Answer

Charlemagne led offensive wars against Umayyad (Muslim) holdings in northern Spain and eventually was able to establish the Marca Hispanica or the Spanish March as a buffer state between his Kingdom of the Franks and the Umayyad Caliphate. This buffer region prevent Umayyad incursions and raids into sovereign Frankish territory. When Frankish power waned, the Marca Hispanica became quasi-independent governates and eventually became part of Christian Spain. Today, the Marca Hispanica roughly corresponds to Catalonia, Navarre, Basque Country, and Rioja.
