  In July of 711 AD, the Islamic leader Tariq bin Ziyad was able to take control of northern Spain at the beginning of the Islamic conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, and with this great fact that lasted eight centuries in Europe, but the history of the leader himself is surrounded by a lot of ambiguity, even in the simplest  : Is it barbarian or Arab?
