A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the rise of the Saadian dynasty in Morocco, focusing on the pivotal Battle of the Three Kings (Battle of Wadi al-Makhazin) in 1578. They discuss how the Saadians, a sharifian dynasty claiming descent from the Prophet Muhammad, united Morocco against Portuguese expansion. The battle saw the deaths of three monarchs: King Sebastian of Portugal, the deposed Moroccan sultan Abd al-Malik, and his nephew Abu Abdallah. Luna asks about the legendary 'Lost Prince' Sebastian and the impact on Moroccan sovereignty. Lucas explains how Ahmad al-Mansur, who succeeded after the battle, used the victory and subsequent wealth from the trans-Saharan gold trade to build a powerful state, including the lavish El Badi Palace in Marrakech. The episode also touches on the Saadians' use of European firearms, their diplomatic relations with England and Spain, and the cultural flourishing under al-Mansur. A tale of intrigue, gunpowder, and gold that reshaped North Africa.
