The Reconquista (a Portuguese and Spanish word for "Reconquest"; known in Arabic: الاسترداد al-ʼIstirdād, "the Recapturing") was a period of almost 800 years (539 years in Portugal) in the Middle Ages during which several Christian kingdoms succeeded in retaking the Muslim-controlled areas of the Iberian Peninsula broadly known as Al-Andalus. The reconquista of Al-Andalus began soon after the Islamic conquest with formation of the Kingdom of Asturias by the Visigoths under the leardship of the Gothic nobleman Pelagius.
