7. Effects of the Reconquista • It created “Fueros”, which were charters granted to Christian peasants to escape the feudal system by establishing settlements in areas abandoned by the Muslims.  This was an attempt to repopulate Iberia with Christians, but would lay the foundations for the charters given to settlers in the Americas. • It was an inspiration for the Crusading culture that arose in Europe.  Pope Urban II even called on Knights fighting on the Iberian peninsula to stay there, rather than joining the march to the Holy Lands, because their cause was just as important. • The culture of religious warfare also led to the expulsion of the Jews and Muslims living in the Iberian peninsula. This established Catholicism as the dominant religion in Iberia. Spanish Inquisition kills over 2,000 heretics. • It shaped the Spanish culture of Christianizing other cultures that would become important in the colonization of the Americas. • The Reconquista led directly into the voyage of Columbus.  Ferdinand and Isabella sponsored Columbus’ voyage in part as a celebration of their victory over the Muslims in Granada, the last Muslim emirate in Iberia.
