Long before the galleons brought silver from Potosí, Spain’s economic backbone was woven in the hills of the Alpujarras. This episode explores the hidden empire of the Morisco silk industry, a trade so lucrative it made Granada one of Europe’s wealthiest regions under Christian rule. We follow the journey from mulberry cultivation to the intricate workshops of Granada and Seville, examining how artisans like Francisco Núñez Muley crafted textiles that funded kings and shaped global markets. Through the eyes of the Catholic Monarchs, Cardinal Cisneros, and Philip II, we uncover why this 'white gold' was both an economic miracle and a political lightning rod. The story culminates in the Alpujarras Revolt and the eventual expulsion of 1609, which didn't just displace people but shattered a supply chain that had connected Mediterranean trade routes for centuries. Discover how the loss of these skilled craftsmen contributed to Spain’s long-term economic decline, proving that human capital is often more valuable than mined gold. #Morisco #Granada #Alpujarras #SilkIndustry #FranciscoNunezMuley #AbenHumeya #PhilipII #Cisneros #SpanishEconomy #Mudéjar #Expulsion1609 #TextileHistory #MulberryTrees #SevilleTrade #NasridDynasty #HabsburgSpain #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
