New military history research: The Portuguese conquest of Azammur, Morocco
The
Journal of North African Studies presents a study of a Portuguese conquest by Jorge
Correia, Andre Teixeira, and Maria Augusta Lima Cruz. The study focuses on the military, political
and social development of Azammur in Morocco from its Portuguese conquest to
Portuguese abandonment. The conquest
came about through crusader zeal but Portugal was unable to make the city a
financially prosperous and stable one.
The Muslim, Christian and Jewish populations fought and allied with each
other over the period of occupation and the archaeology, architecture and history of the city in this time provide information
on Portuguese and European evolution from a late-medieval condition to an early
modern condition.
