Much of the population massacred in Lisbon was Christian, even if Arabized, the Moçarabes ... The Mozarabic Bishop of Lisbon himself was murdered by the crusaders and the way the population was treated badly and massacred. The Islamic Lisbon massacre impressed with its brutality and destruction...
Which happened to Mozarabs and Muslims in Portugal? From which places came Christian settlers during Portuguese reconquista? Where they settled?
