The [[Emirate of Granada]] was the last Muslim kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula, which surrendered in 1492 to the Catholic forces after a [[Granada War|decade-long campaign]]. Granada was annexed to Castile as the Kingdom of Granada, and had a majority Muslim population of between 250,000 and 300,000.{{sfn|Carr|2009|p=40}} Initially, the [[Treaty of Granada]] guaranteed their rights to be Muslim but [[Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros|Cardinal Cisneros]]'s effort to convert the population led to a [[Rebellion of the Alpujarras (1499-1501)|series of rebellions]].{{sfn|Carr|2009|p=59}} The rebellions were suppressed, and afterwards the Muslims in Granada were given the choice to remain and accept baptism, reject baptism and be enslaved or killed, or to go into exile.{{sfn|Harvey|2005|p=48}} The option of exile was often not feasible in practice, and hindered by the authorities.{{sfn|Harvey|2005|p=48}} Shortly after the rebellions' defeat, the entire Muslim population of Granada had nominally become Christian.{{sfn|Carr|2009|p=74}}
 
Although they converted to Christianity, they maintained their existing customs, including their language, distinct names, food, dress and even some ceremonies.{{sfn|Harvey|2005|pp=53–55}} Many secretly practiced Islam, even as they publicly professed and practiced Christianity.{{sfn|Harvey|2005|p=49}} This led the Catholic rulers to adopt increasingly intolerant and harsh policies to eradicate these practices.{{sfn|Carr|2009|p=74}} This culminated in [[Philip II of Spain|Philip II]]'s ''Pragmatica'' of 1 January 1567, which ordered the Moriscos to abandon their customs, clothing and language. The ''Pragmatica'' triggered the [[Morisco rebellions in Granada#Second rebellion.2C 1568-71 .28War of the Alpujarras.29|Morisco revolts]] in 1568–71.{{sfn|Lea|1901|p=227}} The Spanish authorities quashed this rebellion, and at the end of the fighting, the authorities decided to expel the Moriscos from Granada and scatter them to the other parts of Castile.{{sfn|Harvey|2005|p=234}} Between 80,000 and 90,000 Granadans were marched to cities and towns across Castile.{{sfn|Lapeyre|2011|p=14}}{{sfn|Harvey|2005|p=234}}{{sfn|Vincent|2014|p=20}}
