The Moriscos, after two years of ferocious campaigning, with dreadful atrocities committed by both sides, are removed en masse from Granada.

Only the few Moriscos who had collaborated with the royal forces are permitted to remain in the city and territory of Granada.

To eliminate the possibility of further revolts in Granada, Philip disperses its Morisco population in small groups among the Old Christian towns and villages of the Castilian hinterland, particularly to Valencia and Murcia, and hopes for their assimilation into Spanish society as well as true observance of Christianity.

They are replaced by colonists from Extremadura and Galicia.

In the absence of systematic education and in the face of the hostility of the Christian population, this attempt is also doomed to failure: the Moriscos will continue their particular Muslim ways.

Philip III will eventually order the expulsion of all Moriscos from Spain in 1609.
