History of the Reign of Philip the Second King of Spain, Vol. 3 by Prescott
"History of the Reign of Philip the Second King of Spain, Vol. 3" by William H. Prescott is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book delves into the complexities and consequences of King Philip II's reign, particularly focusing on the socio-political landscape of Spain during this period. It extensively examines the conflicts between Christians and Moriscos, tracing the history of the Moors in Spain and their tumultuous relationship withthe Christian rulers. The opening of the narrative introduces the historical context of the Moors in Spain, detailing their initial conquest in the 8th century and the subsequent centuries of strife that shaped their presence in the region. Prescott outlines the attempts at converting the Moors to Christianity, highlighting the policies of religious intolerance and cultural suppression that ultimately led to unrest and rebellion. The discontent among the Moriscos, fueled by oppressive edicts and a lack of understanding from their Christian rulers, sets the stage for the significant uprisings that followed, showcasing how deeply embedded tensions influenced the trajectory of Spain's history during Philip II's rule.
