There were numerous Islamic Caliphates and Empires in Spanish history. The first was the Umayyad Caliphate, which ruled from Damascus from 711-750 CE and from Cordoba from 750-1038 CE when the last Caliph Hisham III died without a successor. From 800-1038 CE, the Umayyads slowly lost territory to the Christian northern kingdoms as a result of numerous wars.
With the fall of the Umayyad Caliphate, numerous smaller Taifa kingdoms arose in Islamic Spain and the Christian Kingdoms had an easier time conquering territory. This resulted in the Moroccan Almoravid and Almohad dyansties absorbing the Taifas and reclaiming territory for Islamic Spain. However, by the mid-12th century, the Almohad dynasty lost control of Spain and a second set of Taifas formed. By the end of the 13th century, the Christian Kingdoms had conquered all but one of the Taifa Kingdoms. The final Muslim kingdom in Spain was overthrown after a series of battles, when the Nasrid Kingdom surrendered Granada in 1492.
