Isabell and her Husband King Ferdinand inflicted the final military defeat on the Moors in 1492. Various Spanish kingdoms fought to evict the Moors over seven centuries.
The Moors invaded Europe to defeat the Christian Visigoths in the Iberian Peninsula. They intended to spread Islam across this area, which is now known as Spain.
There are a number of steps which helped Spain to become a strong centralized monarchy. The alliance formed by Ferdinand and Isabella to eject Moors was one of the critical steps.
Charles Martel was able to defeat the Islamic Moors at the Battle of Tours in 732 thanks to his strategic military tactics, particularly the use of heavy infantry and cavalry. He capitalized on the Moors' overextended supply lines and exploited their vulnerabilities in battle, leading to a decisive victory. This battle halted the Moors' advancement into Western Europe and solidified Martel's reputation as a skilled military leader.
The Spanish monarchy that defeated the Moors was the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon. They completed the Reconquista with the conquest of Granada in 1492, thus ending over seven centuries of Muslim rule in Spain.
They were a constitutional monarchy under Louis XVIII.
