Mohammed, Franco und andere Kastilier

  Mohammed? Franco?? Nein, keine Mohammed-Karikaturen, nur Bilder aus dem Palast Mohammeds V., der 1354 bis 1391 Emir von Granada war. Und nein, weder er noch der Generalissimo sind gebürtige Kastilier, wobei Mohammed immerhin Lehnsmann des kastilischen Königs war.
