Field of Glory II: Medieval - Reconquista

Attention! This content requires the base game Field of Glory II: Medieval on Steam in order to play.

Feudalism did not have such a dominant influence in Spain and Italy as in Northwestern Europe. Both of these lands had unique factors influencing the conduct of the war.

In 1050, more than half of the Iberian Peninsula was under the rule of Islamic states, an area known as Andalusia. After the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate in 1031, Andalusia was divided into several small Muslim states known as the Taifa emirates. The Taifas were often at war with each other, which made them unable to resist the larger Christian Kingdom of Castile, which was created in 1037 with the absorption of the Kingdom of León.

This was the true beginning of the Christian Reconquista, which would not end until 1492. To stop the Christian attack, in 1086 the Taif Emir of Seville invited the Murabi Berbers of North Africa to enter Spain. This did not work out as planned for the Taifas, as after defeating the Castilians at the Battle of Sagrajas, the Murabites quickly incorporated most of the Taifa emirates into their empire.

The Murabit Empire was taken over in 1147 by the rival Berber sect of the Almohads. These events were a major setback for the Spanish Christian kingdoms, but they bounced back to win a great victory over the Almohads at Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212 that broke Muslim power in Spain forever. Soon only the emirate of Granada remained, but already as a vassal of Castile. During this period there were also frequent clashes between states of the same religion, and Muslim and Christian warriors often did not hesitate to serve the princes of another religion.

In northern Italy, the big cities have always tried to maintain a certain degree of independence and often fought violently against attempts by the Holy Roman Emperor to impose his authority over them. They became increasingly wealthy in trade, and by the end of the 11th century their urban militias had become the mainstay of the Italian armies, eclipsing the role of the feudal knights. In 1176, the northern Italian cities formed the Lombard League and won a great victory over Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa at the Battle of Legnano.

This was part of the Guelph-Ghibelline wars. The Papacy and the Empire initially quarreled over who had the right to appoint church officials, this was known as the "Investiture Conflict". The Ghibellines were the ones who supported the Holy Roman Emperor, while the Guelphs were the party that supported the Pope. Although the dispute over the investiture was resolved in 1122, the conflict between the papacy and the empire, the Guelphs and the Ghibellines, continued for hundreds of years.

In southern Italy, the Normans rose from humble mercenaries to conquer all of southern Italy and establish the great kingdom of Sicily after conquering the island from the Arabs. After the line of Norman kings ended when Wilhelm II died without male heirs, the throne passed to the German imperial Hohenstaufen dynasty. In 1266, the pope encouraged Charles of Anjou to attack the Hohenstaufen and, after winning the Battle of Benevento, seized the kingdom for himself.
