Best Answer

The Muslims lost control of Spain due to several military defeats in northern Spain and the internal collapse of the Umayyad Empire. When the northern Christian Kingdoms were able to take advantage of squabbles between the numerous Islamic Kingdoms, the reconquest of Spain for Christianity proceeded much more quickly.
