Al Andalus
You're Dead to Me
The Arab Islamic Empire in the 740s
In 750, a revolutionary movement overthrows the Amayed Caliphate and a new Abbasid Caliphate is established. One young prince, Abdrahman, escapes to North Africa where he sets himself up in Iberia.

And when he does that in the 780s, he builds his palace and he builds the great mosque of Cordoba - which becomes the hallmark monument of the dynasty.
