Description

Boabdil, was the last king of Granada. Abû Abd Al•lâh, known as Muhámmad XII, was a member of the Nasrid dynasty, called by Christians Boabdil or Boabdil the Small to distinguish him from his uncle Abu 'Abd AllÄh 'the Old'. Born in the Alhambra, the son of Muley Hacén and the sultana Aixa, he revolted in Guadix against his father in 1482 and acceded to the throne thanks to the support of the Abencerrajes and his own mother. He fought his father and uncle, who also considered themselves legitimate kings of Granada.

During the battle of Martín González, in the municipality of Lucena, he was captured by the Catholic Monarchs. His liberation implied giving Castile the part of the kingdom governed by the Zagal, which favored Castilian penetration and the end of the war on January 2, 1492 with the capture of Granada by the Catholic Monarchs.
In 1492, the Catholic Monarchs entered Granada as punishment for the refusal of this kingdom to pay the taxes that they demanded. In the Capitulation of Granada it was established that Boabdil would hold the lordship of the Alpujarras.

According to a widespread Spanish legend whose veracity is not attested by any documentation, when he left Granada on his way to exile in the Alpujarras, when he crowned a hill, he turned his head to see his city for the last time and cried, hearing from his mother the sultana Aixa:

"Cry like a woman what you did not know how to defend as a man"

Because of this, that mountain receives the name of Suspiro del Moro. In his exile in Alpujarra, he settled in the Almeria town of Laujar de Andarax, this being his last residence in the Iberian Peninsula. In Laujar, in 1493, the last sultana of Granada, Morayma, wife of Boabdil, died. In 1493 he left the peninsula bound for Fez after selling the rights of his lordship to the Catholic Monarchs and collecting the remains of his ancestors in Mondújar, next to Talará (Granada).
