The Christians were at the foot of Siurana, a village above the mountains that was occuped by muslims, In particular that strategic territory was occuped by the Moorish Queen's Abd-el-azia, a woman with a great beauty. Siurana was the last place to reconquer Catalonia.
But the Christians from Catalonia were incapable to take Siurana, for what thanks to trickery of a Jewish traitor the Christians could go into the castle, during the battle, the Moorish queen swore to die before being caught by barbaric Christians who killed most of population, while the Moorish queen enjoys a party with the local nobility because she felt sure in her castle.Suddenly an arrow came in through the window and nailed in the table, the queen panicked and fled her quarters, the christians went in and found to her almost nude, upon looking that she was so pretty, they decided to give her an chance, she will continue living if she is converted to Christianism, she agreed and asked for being left her alone to dress appropiately in order to be baptized, they agreed.
But she took a simple veil to cover herself and ran away to stables, rode her white horse and ran towards the precipice willing to die. The soldiers were impressed to see the queen riding a horse while she covered the eyes of horse to avoid it may stop at the edge of the precipice.
According to the legend, the horse stopped and leave its mark on the rock, but then it was spurred on by her, jumped and they fell down. And the veil kept flying around.
In 1153, in the Middle Ages, IN SIURANA, a beautiful place in Catalonia, THIS STORY happened when the AraBS wERE being expelled from Spanish lands.

Good job. Good practice with vocabulary.
village above the mountains, I mean "over the top of the mountains". Thanks for noting my effort.
