When Habbus died in 1038 , Naghrela made sure that his son Badis succeeded him. In return, Badis made Naghrela his vizier and top general, two posts which he held for the next seventeen years. Naghrela's son Joseph inherited those jobs, but apparently it went to his head (he was only twenty years old), for he was arrogant as well as talented. Muslems accused Joseph of using his office to benefit Jewish friends, assassinated him, and launched a Massacre of Granada's Jews the next day (December 31, 1066). Today's Jews remember 1066 for this, rather than for the Norman Conquest Of England . EXTERNAL LINKS |
