We often think of Spain’s imperial wealth as coming solely from the silver mines of Potosí or the gold fleets that crossed the Atlantic. But long before the first galleon docked in Seville, a different kind of white gold was driving the economy of southern Europe: silk. This episode traces the intricate history of the Alpujarras mountains and the Mudéjar artisans who transformed Granada into a textile powerhouse. We meet Francisco Núñez Muley, a Morisco official whose records reveal the sheer scale of this industry, and explore how the delicate balance between Muslim craftsmen and Christian rulers sustained a trade network that reached Venice, Genoa, and beyond. When Cardinal Cisneros began his campaign of forced conversion and cultural erasure, he wasn't just changing souls; he was dismantling an economic engine. The subsequent revolt led by Abén Humeya and the eventual expulsion of the Moriscos in 1609 under Philip III didn't just displace people—it bankrupted regions and shifted global supply chains. Join us as we uncover the human cost behind the luxury fabrics that dressed European nobility. #Granada #Moriscos #Alpujarras #SilkTrade #FranciscoNunezMuley #AbenHumeya #Mudejar #PhilipII #PhilipIII #CardinalCisneros #SpainHistory #IslamicSpain #EconomicHistory #TextileIndustry #Expulsion1609 #FexingoHistory #EuropeanHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
