The Taifa of Murcia (or Kingdom of Murcia) is a small Islamic taifa centered around the city of Murcia. It has been Islam-controlled since the fall of Cordoba. Early in its history it managed to conquer, and its rulers inherit, the regions to the south and west, extending to Granada. For most of its history it has managed to hold onto this land. As with most of the Muslim nations in the region, its most significant enemies are the Christian Kingdoms in the north: Aragon and Sergia.
