Long before the gold of Potosí filled the royal coffers, Spain’s economy was built on a quieter, more fragile foundation: silk. This episode traces the rise of the Alpujarras as Europe’s premier textile hub under the Nasrid dynasty and the Catholic Monarchs. We follow the intricate journey from mulberry cultivation to the looms of Granada, exploring how this industry shaped urban life, funded military campaigns like those against the Ottomans, and created a complex web of labor involving Mudéjar artisans and Christian investors. The narrative also examines the political tensions that arose when religious uniformity clashed with economic necessity, culminating in the tragic expulsion of the Moriscos. Through the lives of specific weavers, merchants, and officials like Cardinal Cisneros and Francisco Núñez Muley, we uncover how a single commodity became a mirror for Spain’s deepest social fractures and its global ambitions. #Alpujarras #GranadaSilk #NasridDynasty #MoriscoExpulsion #MudejarArt #Cisneros #FranciscoNuñezMuley #AbenHumeya #PhilipIII #SpanishEconomy #TextileHistory #MulberryTrees #Boabdil #IsabellaICastile #FerdinandIIAragon #TreatyOfGranada #AlhambraDecree #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
