of
along the banks of the River Manzanares. Many of these objects (axes and
small Palaeolithic objects, remains of animals that prove the existence
of large mammals,
Neolithic ceramics, etc.)
can be seen at the National Archaeological Museum. Madrid's population
was initially Iberian and later Roman, and is possibly the Mantua found
in
certain ancient references
and the Roman Miacum from Anthony's "itinerary".
Madrid is hardly mentioned
in the history books until the late tenth century, when there was a fort
or castle where the Royal Palace stands today. The
fort was occupied by
the Moors, who named it
Mayrit (from which Magerit, then Madrid) and around which the borough of
Madrid developed during the subsequent centuries. The
Moors managed
to rule until Madrid
until it was finally conquered in 1085 by Alfonso VI in his advance towards
Toledo. This king ordered the main mosque within the fort's walls to be
"purified"
and consecrated as a Catholic
church under the guidanceof the Virgin of the Almudena, the name deriving
from a religious icon found near the "almuduna" or wheat deposit.
La Virgen de la Almudena
later became Madrid's female patron saint.
1329, King Fernando V assembled
The Court of Madrid for the first time. Later, due to the Reconquista,
Moors and Jews formed a concentrated population in the area that
still today carries the
name of Morer?a, but in 1494 the "unbelievers" were expelled and the mosque
and other indicative buildings disappeared.
Madrid was later conquered
by Enrique of Tastamara and ceded by Juan I to King Leon V of Armenia who
was then dethroned by the Sultan of Babilonia. The city was
destroyed by fire during
the reign of Enrique II, and the city was rebuilt by his grandson Enrique
III, who reincorporated Madrid under the Crown of Castille and who also
founded El Pardo, north
of the city.
