Answer:

Moors were the Muslim inhabitants of the former Roman Africa Province who lived near the Mediterranean Sea.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Moors were a group of Muslims people from northern Africa who invaded Spain. These Islamic people conquered Spain and Portugal during the times leading up to the First Crusade.

Moors invaded Spain, taking their Islamic faith and culture with them by defeating the Visigoths. They ruled the Southern part of Spain from 711 to 1492 when Granada captured by Fernidad V and Isabella I.

In Southern Spain, the Moors established a stronghold with the Umayyad caliphate. Some cities like Cordoba, Toledo, Granada, and Seville were under the Moors. Their presence in Spain considered a threat because of their religion.
