The Taifa of Zaragoza is an independent nation in Western Europe as of 1008 AD. It was formed out of the remnants of land not conquered by the Caliphate of Córdoba during Hisham II's reign. While its Government and population was nominally Muslim, it quickly attracted the remnants of Christian Kingdoms which had been subdued and had no plans to be ruled by the Central Government in Córdoba. To these people, and the Christian community already living there, it would be known as the Kingdom of Aragon.

  • The Taifa of Zaragoza is an independent nation in Western Europe as of 1008 AD. It was formed out of the remnants of land not conquered by the Caliphate of Córdoba during Hisham II's reign. While its Government and population was nominally Muslim, it quickly attracted the remnants of Christian Kingdoms which had been subdued and had no plans to be ruled by the Central Government in Córdoba. To these people, and the Christian community already living there, it would be known as the Kingdom of Aragon. While it was strongly independent, its formation and continued existence was only guaranteed by its promise to pay tribute to Córdoba. It bordered the Kingdom of France in the north, alongside Toulouse that was independent of France. Being in a similar state of affairs, Toulouse and Zaragoza would hold a strong relationship with each other, and often shared knowledge and technology. As of 1085 the nation still exists under Ahmad II al-Musta'in.
