Carr draws on Spanish archival and chronicle material; the book is written for a general readership rather than as a peer-reviewed monograph, but it is widely cited in the scholarly literature on Morisco history. Use it for the dated sequence of the Reconquista's completion and the Morisco expulsion; a claim about a specific Morisco community's internal religious practice needs a source closer to that record.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsClaims Backed By This Source (51 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1A general-readership narrative history grounded in primary Spanish archival and chronicle material, widely cited in the specialist literature on Morisco history; tier 1.NotesWell-attestedUsed for two hops: the Reconquista's suppression of Islam in Spain, 1085 to 1492, and the Morisco expulsion that ended it as a living population, 1492 to 1614.CitationAuthorWell-attestedMatthew CarrPublisherWell-attestedThe New PressPublication YearWell-attested2009Source TypeWell-attestedBook (popular history)Cross-Tradition ConnectionsAssociated WithMoriscos, Cultures Well-attested This source names Moriscos directly: "of Spain's remaining Muslims into the Moriscos, and their eventual expulsion between 1609 and 1614."Source Blood and Faith: The Purging of Muslim Spain, 1492-1614Matthew Carrtier 1Spain, Countries Well-attested This source names Spain directly: "of the Reconquista's aftermath in Spain: the Christian reconquest of al Andalus completed at Granada in 1492, the forced conversion of Spain's remaining Muslims into the Moriscos, and their eventual..."Source Blood and Faith: The Purging of Muslim Spain, 1492-1614Matthew Carrtier 1Claims Backed By This Source (51 claims)This source backs 51 claims across the atlas.
