Knights on the frontier: the moorish guard of the kings of Castile (1410-1467)

The privileged Muslim bodyguard employed by Castilian kings provides a fascinating episode of Muslim-Christian relations in late Medieval Spain, where frontier ideals triumphed. Conversion and assimilation of this group into Christian society tells a different story from that of compulsory baptism and expulsion during the sixteenth century.
