Ibn al-Qūṭiyya's "History of the Conquest of al-Andalus" presents the author as a descendant of the penultimate Visigoth king, Witiza, and as a member of a Visigothic family that defected to the conquerors for political reasons during the Muslim invasion of the Iberian Peninsula in 711. The article discusses the authenticity, plausibility, and implications of this genealogy for Christian-Muslim relations in Muslim-ruled al-Andalus.
