Spain was easily invaded and taken over because, in reality, there was no Spain, only poor peasants and thuggish gangs ~ city life was long over.
The only highspot in the whole region was the seacoast on the Bay of Biscay ~ that's well reported in in almost anything that mentions King Ad ~ or St. Gildas, and Welsh genealogies.

I’m not forgetting anything. What you’re doing is throwing around kitchen sinks.
“Spain was easily invaded and taken over because, in reality, there was no Spain, only poor peasants and thuggish gangs ~ city life was long over.”
No. Spain was easily defeated because NO ONE at the time in Western Europe could compete with Arab and Berber Muslim armies on the plains. They were expert horseman while the Visigoths were mostly foot soldiers.
“The only highspot in the whole region was the seacoast on the Bay of Biscay ~ that’s well reported in in almost anything that mentions King Ad ~ or St. Gildas, and Welsh genealogies.”
None of which has anything to do with what we’re actually discussing, Kitchen Sink.
And you still need to apologize for outright lying.
