  • In 1244, Murcia, strategically located on the border with the Arabic kingdom of Granada, became a vassal state of the powerful Kingdom of Castile, which annexed it outright in 1266. When Granada fell in 1492, Muslim converts (Moriscos ) flooded into Murcia. Their expulsion in the early 17th century caused economic crisis.
