I don't believe I claimed that Khaldun instigated the Reconquista or ended it.

lcqlamar: (post 145) "I think you were when you dishonestly suggested that the Reconquista was an event that happened 20 generations and 6 centuries after the Moorish conquest."

zimdog: (post 150) "It did happen then. Granada fell to Ferdinand and Isabella's forces in 1492."

You then pointed to Khaldun to justify your claim that this was implicit in your original characterization, even though Khaldun had been dead for a century.

Yes, the Reconquista "happened" in the 14th century. You already acknowledge that it began in the 8th century. I pointed out that its last victory was in 1492, well after the 14th century ended.

Please explain how I "pointed to Khaldun" to justify a claim. I pointed your attention (if it can be called that) to the fact that I raised the topic with regard to Khaldun's 14th century contemporaries, who lived in the 14th century, which is before the 15th century.

Sheesh.
