The thesis included an introduction, four chapters, appendices, a conclusion, a list of sources, and a review. The first chapter examined the support of the Kingdom of the Franks for the rebellious movements in Andalusia, and the second chapter examined the support of the Kingdom of León for the rebellious movements in Andalusia. Chapter IV Support of the Emirate of Barcelona and the Kingdom of Castile to the Cordoba sedition in Andalusia and the fall of the Umayyad Caliphate.
