At the Moorish invasion the Toledans
defended themselves CALAMITY and
when they yielded obtained the best
conditions they could. Chief among the
terms they insisted upon was that they
might preserve five churches in which
there should be absolute liberty of wor-
ship for those who remained faithful to
Christianity. Thus, through the four
hundred years of Moorish rule the faith
was kept alive in Toledo, and the faith
full bore the name of MosrArabes,
linked with Arabs"
