The opening of the narrative introduces the historical context of the Moors in Spain, detailing their initial conquest in the 8th century and the subsequent centuries of strife that shaped their presence in the region. Prescott outlines the attempts at converting the Moors to Christianity, highlighting the policies of religious intolerance and cultural suppression that ultimately led to unrest and rebellion.
