Who drove out the rest of the Muslims in Spain?

Answer 1

The king that drove the Muslims out was King Ferdinand of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castille.

Ferdinand was born in Sos del Rey Católico, and was the son of John II of Aragon (whose family was a cadet branch of the House of Trastámara) by his second wife, the Castilian noblewoman Juana Enríquez. He married Infanta Isabella, the half-sister and heiress of Henry IV of Castile, on 19 October 1469 in Valladolid and became jure uxoris King of Castile when Isabella succeeded her brother as Queen of Castile in 1474. Isabel also belonged to the royal House of Trastámara. Married under the joint motto, tanto monta, monta tanto, the two young monarchs were initially obliged to fight a civil war against Joan, princess of Castile (also known as Juana la Beltraneja), the purported daughter of Henry IV, and were swiftly successful. When Ferdinand succeeded his father as King of Aragon in 1479, the Crown of Castile and the various territories of the Crown of Aragon were united in a personal union creating for the first time since the 8th century a single political unit referred to as España (Spain), the root of which is the ancient name Hispania, although the various states were not formerly administered as a single unit until the 18th century, but rather, as separate political units under the same Crown.

The first decade of Ferdinand and Isabella's joint rule were taken up with the conquest of the Kingdom of Granada, the last Arab-Muslim state in the Iberian peninsula, which was completed by 1492. In that same year, the Alhambra Decree was issued, expelling all Jews from both Castile and Aragon, and Christopher Columbus was sent by the couple on his expedition (ostensibly bound for east Asia) which resulted in the European arrival in the America. By the Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494, the extra-European world was split between the crowns of Portugal and Castile by a north-south line through the Atlantic Ocean.

Violating the treaty that they had signed with the former King of Granada, which guaranteed religious freedom for Muslims, they forced all Muslims in their dominions to convert to Christianity or else be expelled. The only Muslims that remained were architects, who had designed the Alhambra Palace in Granada. The Muslims who remained discreet, were kidnapped by Spanish inquisitors, and were told to eat a piece of pork. This was also practiced by the Spanish inquisitors on the Jewish population of Spain. The Muslims or Jews who failed to eat pork were expelled from Spain or tortured until they converted to Christianity. The main architect behind the Spanish Inquisition was King Ferdinand II of Aragon. He had over 10,000 Arabic manuscripts burnt in Granada alone. Another task undertook by King Ferdinand II of Aragon was to convert the great mosque of Cordoba into a church, by carving out the dome of the mosque.
