Toledo is a city located in central Spain and the capital of the province of Toledo.
History[]
9th century[]
By 879, Toledo was part of the Emirate of Córdoba, ruled by the Umayyad dynasty, and had suffered through several sieges and power struggles. The latest was defended by emir Muhammad I of Córdoba. The Emir traded with the Norse-Gaelic Kingdom of Dublin while a new uprising was being quelled.[1] Once the uprising was no more, the emir sent for more delicacies and luxuries to celebrate, a request Dublin was happy to oblige.[2]
15th century[]
In 1489, the Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins entered the city in search of a painting from a set created by Leonardo da Vinci that had been inadvertently gambled away by their associate, Jaime del Rada. The paintings were obtained by the Inquisition captain Diego de Burgos, who separated them and gave one to each of his underlings. Among those people was Alfonso Cavallero, a lieutenant who collected art. Finding Cavallero's villa, the Assassins stealthily broke in and recovered the painting.[3]
16th century[]
Around 1511, the Templars commandeered the forges of the city's famous blacksmiths, causing them to flee to Madrid. The Assassins reclaimed their properties from the Templars, returning them to their rightful owners.[4]
18th century[]
Later, during the early 18th-century, the city was visited by the pirate Edward Kenway; whilst in the city, he procured ownership of the famed Blades of Toledo.[5]
Economy[]
Toledo was made famous by the steel alloy produced there, and named after its hometown as Toledo Steel.[6]
