>so not exactly several decades from the conquest of tangier unless Im missing something.
it depicts the failed conquest of tangier from 1431 according to wikipedia
>Yeah, I'm inclined to give them credibility because just as they have uniform blond crowds they also have mixed ones
not of iberians, when it comes to iberians almost all are depicted as blond or light haired, everyone from the saudi umayad to the turks to the iberian muslims to the iberian christians is depicted like that, you could maybe justify the iberian muslims since they were mostly (75%+) iberians and maybe the black ones represent the "real moors", there's also a depiction from the canticles where black moors get baptized, but i don't see how saudi arabians could look like this >>213535140
anyway alphonse X isn't a historian and his canticles are meant to be art, likely no different than modern movies that take artistic liberties ( like whitewashing or blackwashing characters)
