The term Moor is an exonym first used by Christian Europeans to designate the Muslim populations of the Maghreb,al-Andalus,Sicily and Malta during the Middle Ages. Moors are not a single,distinct or self-defined people. The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica observed that the term had "no real ethnological value." Europeans of the Middle Ages and the early modern period variously applied the name to Arabs,Berbers,and Muslim Europeans.
Charles II,known as the Bewitched,was the last Habsburg ruler of the Spanish Empire. Best remembered for his physical disabilities and the War of the Spanish Succession that followed his death,Charles' reign has traditionally been viewed as one of managed decline. However,many of the issues Spain faced pre-dated his reign,and some recent historians have suggested a more balanced perspective.
Tubal,in Genesis 10,was the name of a son of Japheth,son of Noah. He is known to be the father of the Caucasian Iberians according to primary sources. Later,Saint Jerome refashioned the Caucasian Iberia (Georgia) into the Iberian Peninsula and Isidore of Seville consolidated this mistake.

Early modern philosophy The early modern era of philosophy was a progressive movement of Western thought,exploring through theories and discourse such topics as mind and matter,is a period in the history of philosophy that overlaps with the beginning of the period known as modern philosophy.the supernatural,and civil life. It succeeded in the medieval era of philosophy. Early modern philosophy is usually thought to have occurred between the 16th and 18th centuries,though some philosophers and historians may put this period slightly earlier. During this time,influential philosophers included Descartes,Locke,Hume,and Kant,all of whom contributed to the current understanding of philosophy.
The School of Salamanca is an intellectual movement of 16th-century Iberian Scholastic theologians rooted in the intellectual and pedagogical work of Francisco de Vitoria. From the beginning of the 16th century the traditional Catholic conception of man and of his relation to God and to the world had been assaulted by the rise of humanism,by the Protestant Reformation and by the new geographical discoveries and their consequences. These new problems were addressed by the School of Salamanca. The name is derived from the University of Salamanca,where de Vitoria and other members of the school were based.

The early modern period of modern history spans the period after the Late Middle Ages to the beginning of the Age of Revolutions. Although the chronological limits of this period are open to debate,the timeframe is variously demarcated by historians as beginning with the fall of Constantinople in 1453,the Renaissance period in Europe and Timurid Central Asia,the end of the Crusades,the Age of Discovery,and ending around the French Revolution in 1789,or Napoleon's rise to power.

Neostoicism was a philosophical movement that arose in the late 16th century from the works of Justus Lipsius,and sought to combine the beliefs of Stoicism and Christianity. Lipsius was Flemish and a Renaissance humanist. The movement took on the nature of religious syncretism,although modern scholarship does not consider that it resulted in a successful synthesis. The name "neostoicism" is attributed to two Roman Catholic authors,Léontine Zanta and Julien-Eymard d'Angers.

Resistance theory is an aspect of political thought,discussing the basis on which constituted authority may be resisted,by individuals or groups. In the European context it came to prominence as a consequence of the religious divisions in the early modern period that followed the Protestant Reformation. Resistance theories could justify disobedience on religious grounds to monarchs,and were significant in European national politics and international relations in the century leading up to the Peace of Westphalia of 1648. They can also underpin and justify the concept of revolution as now understood. The resistance theory of the early modern period can be considered to predate the formulations of natural and legal rights of citizens,and to co-exist with considerations of natural law.
Spanish irredentism mainly focuses on claims over the British overseas territory of Gibraltar,whose long-standing territorial vindication as a British colony is enshrined in the Spanish foreign policy. Along history,other minor irredentist proposals have claimed territories such as the whole of Portugal,Andorra,parts of Northern Africa,the Roussillon and the French Basque Country.
