ABENCERRAGES

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 42 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ABENCERRAGES , a family or
faction
  that is said to have held a prominent position in the Moorish kingdom of
Granada
  in the 15th century. The name appears to have been derived from the Yussuf ben-Serragh, the head of the tribe in the time of Mahommed VII., who did that sovereign good service in his struggles to retain the crown of which he was three times deprived. Nothing is known of the family with certainty; but the name is
familiar
  from the interesting romance of Gines Perez de
Hita
 , Guerras civiles de
Granada
 , which celebrates the feuds of the Abencerrages and the rival family of the Zegris, and the cruel treatment tAwhich the former were subjected. J. P. de Floridn's Gonsalve de Cordoue and Chateaubriand's Le dernier des Abencerrages are imitations of Perez de
Hita
 's
work
 . The
hall
  of the Abencerrages in the Alhambra takes its name from being the reputed scene of the massacre of the family.
