Treaty of Granada (1491)
The Treaty of Granada, signed on 25 November 1491, set the terms for the surrender of the Emirate of Granada by Muhammad XII (Boabdil) to Ferdinand and Isabella. The city was handed over on 2 January 1492, ending Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula. The treaty guaranteed the Muslims freedom of religion, their own law and their property, but these promises were broken within a decade by forced conversions.
