    It's nice to see a video like this, it feels like the reconquest is overshadowed by many other events and doesn't get talked about very often.

      It rarely gets talked about unless you're of Spanish decent, it's common history is Spanish speaking countries. Since without it not only would Europe likely have been conquered by Muslims but without it the Spanish empire would not be nearly as impactful or powerful. The reconquista was one of middle ages Europe's most important events.

      There is no such thing as a Hispanic world. Yet there is one Spain. As for the word Hispanic that is made up word from the United States Of America. The US government Anglicize the Latin word Hispanicus dropped the u and created this word. In my day we used the correct term Iberian. And I am retired from the Federal Government.

    The Reconquista is underrated. The Spanish and Portugese monarchs, the crusading orders, the aristocrats and commoners deserve more credit.

    San Fernando nearly completed the Reconquista. He was at it's last steps. I have been to Sevilla and it's cathedral, and may have seen his tomb there. A true hero of Christendom, and the fact that he's one of the only kings (along with King Louis IX of France) to be christened as a saint is testament to that. He makes me proud of my Spanish heritage (I'm Mexican of mostly Spanish descent).

    Southern California, where my people come from, is full of place names deriving from the long history of the struggle with Islam. The northern half of the City if Los Angeles (itself named after the Virgin Mary - El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles aka The City of Our Lady The Queen of the Angels) is the San Fernando Valley, often called The Valley. It is named after the hero of this program. So is the Franciscan Mission at its heart.

    Fernando III el Santo, fue sin duda el Rey más humilde y mejor Caballero de la Cristiandad. Siendo niño estuvo muy enfermo y su madre, Dña Berenguela, le pidió a Nuestra Señora por la curación de su siervo Fernando. Estuvo en campaña contra el islam permanentemente, sin descanso, de hecho murió en la cincuentena muy deteriorado físicamente. Solo nombraré de sus muchas proezas militares la toma de Córdoba, que empezó en un descuido de los sarracenos que aprovecharon unos almogávares, estos habiendo tomado parte de la ciudad pidieron ayuda al Rey Fernando, y este claro que acudió, fue incansable hasta el final. Le sucedió su hijo Alfonso X el Sabio, otro grandísimo Rey, y basta decir que la máxima condecoración a los héroes, en el ejército español es la Laureada de San Fernando.
