The Moors invaded the Iberian Peninsula in 711 AD, during the reign of King Roderic of the Visigoths, who was the last king before the Muslim conquest. The invasion led to the rapid decline of the Visigothic Kingdom. The Moors, primarily North African Arabs and Berbers, established control over much of the region, leading to centuries of Muslim rule in parts of Spain and Portugal.
Ferdinand and Isabella.
Yes, all British monarchs have been crowned there since the Norman invasion of 1066 swept away Saxon rule. The present building was built by Henry III in the 1240's. Prior to the Norman invasion, British monarchs were crowned at Canterbury.
The movement to drive the moors out of Spain since the first invasion in 711 AD until the last battle in 1492 AD (almost eight centuries) is called the Reconquista.
No. St. Patrick converted the native druids to Christianity. There were no moors living in Ireland at the time, nor were any trying to come to Ireland.
The Moors were driven out of Spain in 1492.
The Spanish monarchy that defeated the Moors was the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon. They completed the Reconquista with the conquest of Granada in 1492, thus ending over seven centuries of Muslim rule in Spain.

The invasion began in the early 8th century (710-711)
They saw it as a potential base for a Spanish invasion.
The movement to drive the moors out of Spain since the first invasion in 711 AD until the last battle in 1492 AD (almost eight centuries) is called the Reconquista.
The Moors were defeated in 1492 at the city of Granada, which was the last stronghold of the Muslim kingdoms in Spain. The Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, successfully captured the city after a lengthy siege, marking the end of the Reconquista. This victory led to the unification of Spain under Christian rule and the expulsion of the Moors from the Iberian Peninsula.
You need to give more information. What Monarchs? What period did these Monarchs reign?
The Moors consolidated their control over the majority of the Iberian Peninsula, however it was not called "Spain" at that time.
No. St. Patrick converted the native druids to Christianity. There were no moors living in Ireland at the time, nor were any trying to come to Ireland.
The Moors were a group of Muslim people from North Africa who invaded and settled in Spain and Portugal during the medieval period. Berbers are an ethnic group native to North Africa, which includes countries like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Mauritania. While some Berbers may have been part of the Moorish invasion, not all Berbers were Moors.
Spain was occupied by the Moors in 711 AD. Over the next 781 years many monarchs fought the Moors and forced them to retreat to the south. The last Moorish ruler was defeated in 1492 by Isabel and Ferdinand. I don't believe any one person deserves the title of "Liberator". It was a cumulative effort over 7 centuries.
