A new rebellion takes shape in the Alpujarras under the leadership of Ibn Humeya. The uprising follows a decree by Hapsburg monarch Felipe II requiring Moors to abandon Arabic and their prior customs. Knights of the Order of Calatrava — the first Spanish military order (founded in 1164) — play a key role in suppressing the revolt over the next three years. Afterwards, Morisco populations from Granada are resettled in other parts of Spain.
