Légende

Legend of the Moor's Last Sigh, 1890. After the conquest of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, the Muslim king Boabdil and his entourage were exiled from the city in 1492. On his way to his exile, the king looked at Granada for the last time, sighing and weeping. His mother, Sultana Aixa (Aisha al-Hurra), told him: "Weep like a woman for what you have not been able to defend like a man". From "Historia General de España (General History of Spain)" by Miguel Morayta, Vol III, Madrid, 1890.
