A very important year. Spain completed the re-conquest of their country to remove the last Moorish stronghold, and Columbus landed in America. The rest, as they say, is history.

Didn't take long for Christian religious tolerance to kick in in Spain, either. 31st March - Jews given 4 months to leave or convert.

Is that how long we've been waiting for the shit decisions to "even out over the course of the season"?

Some use the year as an official date for the end of the Middle Ages, though nobody seems to have told Anne Widdecombe.

Is it the number of times you try and play up on here to divert attention from your inability yet again to post facts to back up your bullshit?

'Spain completed the re-conquest of their country to remove the last Moorish stronghold, and Columbus landed in America. The rest, as they say, is history.'
I'm pretty sure the eviction of the Moors and Columbus's landing are history, too.

Weird isn't it how history has turned about.
The Ottoman Empire was a bastion of religious tolerance compared to the delights of the Spanish Inquisition.

The Ottomans taxed religious minorities, which wasn't great.
But preferable to burning them.

Tough to say whether this year or the middle of that century (invention and spread of the movable type presses) was really the end of the Middle Ages. (as much as you can make such clear delineations)

Like I say, categories like the Middle Ages belong to the mind. Some will never move on.
