First sentence: At the beginning of the 16th century Spain had only recently emerged from almost eight centuries of civil wars collectively called the Reconquista (Reconquest) or the Moorish Wars, when the northern kingdoms of the Iberian peninsula, Castile and Aragon, fought to recover the land conquered by the Moors in the 8th century.
