Aisha al-Hurra was wife of King Ali bin Abi al-Hasan and mother of Abdullah al-Saghir, the last king of Granada. She encouraged her son to fight the Crusaders and liberate Andalusia from them.

Aisha was born in Granada, to a royal family whose origins go back to Yusuf bin Nasr, known as Ibn Al-Ahmar. She grew up in the king’s house in the Alhambra Palace, and she learned from the cultural heritage.
