Material improvement did not reconcile forcibly converted Muslims to Christian rule.

Evidence

Although they might say that they were Christians, they paid more attention to the rites of the religion of Muhammad than those of the Catholic church. They made a point of closing their ears to whatever bishops, priests and monks told them. They were now better off, and more in control of their own property, than they had been under the Moorish kings, but they were never content, and yearned after the old days. They put their trust in empty fictions, called j´ofores or prophecies, because in them they were told they would become Moors again, and be once more what they once had been. — L. P.
