    Don Pelayo not only initiated the Reconquista, he also threw a stone, knocked down five moors with it, and invented bowling.

    Thank you so much for covering the Reconquista. It was glossed over when I was at school. Now they just avoid any mention to it "so as not glorify war and violence" :/

    If the later Trastamara family was related to Pelayo (I have seen some sources that say they were and some that say they were not) that means that to this day the Kings of Spain are his descendants and if so this was achieved greatly due this "insignificant" victory.

      Also, this guy is likely a distant cousin of mine, I have ancestors that were part of the Visigoth contingent that moved from Iberia to join with Theodoric’s group of goths in Italy that after the Arian church’s persecution under Justinian then went back into Germany, Denmark and Scandinavia who then became Normans. A lot of the famous Germanics are related. And my distant family. With some being direct ancestors to me.
      If you were curious why I’m always hammering on about how the gothic people are related to the later crusaders, this is why. Loved this one, totally agree about Pelagio’s victory against what must have been an absurdly larger military force was actually a watershed moment for Iberian history, without which perhaps the Muslims continued on into the rest of Europe. Pelagio is a hero to all Europeans, frankly.

    it was never conquered by the moors there is no proof of it there would be buildings and architecture like the rest of spain, that they paid them off is one thing but they never entered Asturias, they would have the same type of food and culture like the moorish influence in the south like seville, Granada and so on.
