No Muslim state aided Granada when it fell

Evidence

The Nasrids of Granada brought their plight to the attention of the Muslim states in all three of these areas, but as I had said at the close of my study of the period 1250 to 1500: “When Granada’s hour of need came, no assistance was forthcoming from any quarter whatsoever” (Harvey 1990, 267). In the period studied here, responses were feeble when compared with the massive aid that had in earlier centuries come from North Africa in the day of the Almoravids and the Almohads. — L. P.
