- Conquest_of_Ceuta abstract "The conquest of Ceuta by the Portuguese on 22 August 1415 marks a notable step in the Reconquista and a the same time the beginning of the Portuguese Empire as well as of European colonial expansion in general.Ceuta had served as a staging ground in the Umayyad conquest of Hispania in 710, but it was destroyed in 740 and only rebuilt in the 9th century, passing to the Caliphate of Córdoba in the 10th.Ceuta had seen a period of political instability in previous decades, under competing interests from the Kingdom of Fez and the Kingdom of Granada. The Kingdom of Fez finally conquered the region in 1387, with assistance from the Crown of Aragon.In 1415, John I of Portugal led his sons and their assembled forces in an attack on Ceuta as part of the Reconquista.The battle itself was almost anti-climactic, because the 45,000 men who traveled on 200 Portuguese ships caught the defenders of Ceuta off guard. An attack that commenced on the morning of August 14, 1415 ended with the capture of the town by nightfall. John's son Henry distinguished himself in the battle, being wounded during the conquest.Possession of Ceuta would indirectly lead to further Portuguese expansion. Under king Edward, the colony at Ceuta rapidly became a drain on the Portuguese treasury, and it was realised that without the city of Tangier, possession of Ceuta was worthless. In 1437, Duarte's brothers Henry and Ferdinand persuaded him to launch an attack on the Marinid sultanate of Morocco. The resulting attack on Tangier, led by Henry, was a debacle. In the resulting treaty, Henry promised to deliver Ceuta back to the Marinids in return for allowing the Portuguese army to depart unmolested. Arkan Simaan L'Écuyer d'Henri le Navigateur (2007) is a fictionalization of the conquest of Ceuta l based on Zurara’s chronicles.".
