On January 2, 1492, the last Muslim leader Boabdil surrendered complete control of the remnants of the last Moorish stronghold of Granada, to Ferdinand and Isabella, Los Reyes Católicos ("The Catholic Monarchs").
The fall of the Moors is one of the more significant events in Granada's history.
The Alhambra Decree of the Christian Monarchs asked the predominantly Muslim population to convert to Roman Catholicism or to return to their ancestral lands in North Africa.
Arabic lost its place in everyday life and was replaced by Castilian Spanish.
The mosques, some on sites of former Christian churches, were converted to Christian uses.
Part of the predominantly Muslim population was gradually converted to Roman Catholicism and remaining muslims were eventually expelled to surrounding rural areas, leading to the Revolt of the Alpujarras in 1568.
The Jews, however, were immediately expelled from Christian Alhambra following the Alhambra Decree of 1492.

Strength in Surrender: Onstage and in Life
The world of improvisational theater has strengthened John’s scripted performances and awakened him to the improvisational reality of life itself, which rarely cooperates with our best-laid plans. This does not, however, alleviate the need for preparation. In some cases a single moment of clarity awakens a person to life’s fragility—such as the passing of John’s beloved wife, Maria Ivania. John's experience is not unique; only his perspective. With few weapons at his disposal to cope with the tragedy for his sons and for himself, the acting and improvisation worlds equipped him for the coming storms. When Life’s large waves hit and pushed John and his sons toward higher ground, Ivania was their anchor. They have since learned to turn around, face these waves, and pull out the proverbial surfboards. He contends that the principles of improvisation hold the keys to success onstage and in life ... because the entire world is a stage.

On October 19, 1781, British forces under the command of Lieutenant General Lord Corwallis surrendered to a combined force of American and French troops led by General George Washington at Yorktown, Virginia, after a three week siege of the town. This surrender effectively ended the American Revolutionary War, and assured the Independence of the Unites States. Today the battlefield and surrender grounds are administered by Colonial National Historic Park.
Record of Services
Seth M. Timberlake joined the
Botts Greys, a Volunteer Company from
Charles Town, at the beginning of the war
in /61. At the 1st battle of Manassas,
the company was standing in line with
orders to hold their fire when a Yankee
on their flank fired and wounded my friend
who at once declared he would kill that
Yank-orders or no orders- and blazed away
dropping the Yank in his tracks.
Like all of the name that I
ever knew he was perfectly fearless
and soon acquired the name of
"The fighting Seargeant" being Orderly Sergt.
of our Company which he joined in
April 1862 having been transferred from
the Infantry. About twenty of the
Company made a raid on Fort Royal
in /62 and he encountered one of the
enemy who put up a game fight.
Standing in a yard near the road he
refused to surrender. Seth rode up
to the fence and they fired six shots at each
other, the Yankee being knocked out at
the sixth round and Seth's horse, receiving
a mortal wound. This was an ideal war
horse that he had gotten from me and no one
knew that he had been wounded until
he staggered and fell a short distance
from the place where the encounter occured.
