[[File:La Rendición de Granada - Pradilla.jpg|thumb|right|250px|''The Capitulation of Granada'' by F. Pradilla y Ortiz, 1882: Muhammad XII surrenders to [[Ferdinand II of Aragon]] and [[Isabella I of Castile]].]] The '''Nasrid dynasty''' or '''Banu Nasri''' ({{lang-ar|بنو نصر}}) was the last [[Arab]] and [[Muslim]] dynasty in [[Spain]]. The Nasrid dynasty came to power after the defeat of the [[Almohad]] dynasty in 1212 at the Battle of Las Navas de [[Tolosa]]. Twenty-three different [[emir]]s ruled [[Granada]] from the founding of the dynasty in 1232 by Muhammed I ibn Nasr until January 2, 1492, when Muhammad XII of Granada surrendered to the Christian Spanish kingdoms of [[Aragon]] and [[Kingdom of Castile|Castile]]. Today, the most visible evidence of the Nasrids is the [[Alhambra]] palace built under their rule. == List of Nasrid Sultans of Granada == * Muhammed I ibn Nasr (1238-1272) * Muhammed II al-Faqih (1273-1302) * Muhammed III (1302-1309) * Nasr (1309-1314) * Ismail I (1314-1325) * Muhammed IV (1325-1333) * Yusuf I (1333-1354) * Muhammed V (1354-1359, 1362-1391) * Ismail II (1359-1360) * Muhammed VI (1360-1362) * Yusuf II (1391-1392) * Muhammed VII (1392-1408) * Yusuf III (1408-1417) * Muhammed VIII (1417-1419, 1427-1429) * Muhammed IX (1419-1427, 1430–1431, 1432–1445, 1448-1453) * Yusuf IV (1431-1432) * Yusuf V (1445-1446, 1462) * Muhammed X (1446-1448) * Muhammed XI (1453-1454) * Said (1454-1464) * Abu l-Hasan Ali, known as Muley Hacén (1464-1482, 1483-1485) * Abu 'abd Allah Muhammed XII, known as Boabdil (1482-1483, 1486-1492) * Abū `Abd Allāh Muhammed XIII, known as El Zagal (1485-1486) == Genealogical chart == {{wide image|NasridDynasty.png|670px|3=Family tree showing the relations between each Sultan.
