Pruna Information
After the Battle of the Guadalete, year 711, Muslims took over the Visigothic Hispania and the location of Pruna became an “alquería”- a rural village - belonging to the Emirate of Córdoba and then it was part of the Califato Omeya de Cordoba.
After the fall of the Califato de Córdoba, the Reinos de Taifas appeared and Pruna was integrated into the Taifa of Sevilla, which was conquered by the Castilian King Fernando III el Santo in 1248, becoming part of the Reino de Castilla.
In 1250 the sultan of the Taifa of Granada, Mohammed Abu Abdallad ben Yusuf, founder of the Nazari dynasty, conquered Pruna temporarily for the Kingdom of Granada.
In 1256 the son and successor of Fernando III, Alfonso X the Wise, by the act of the Repartimiento of Seville orders to Gonzalo de Vicente, alcaide of Seville, to give the locality to the military Order of Calatrava for the defense of the border with the Reino Nazarí de Granada. They couldn’t succeed and the town was recovered by Muslims.
During centuries, as Pruna was placed on the border of the Muslim Kingdom, it changed occupation between Christians and Muslims many times. In 1407, Pruna finally became a Christian town.
