Answer 1
Muslims ruled almost the entire Spain for about 800 years. Later the Christian Crusaders came to Spain and wiped out the Muslims.
Hispania was the Latin name given to the whole Iberian Peninsula (covering the territories of present day Spain and Portugal)
Answer 2
Muslims conquered most of the Iberian Peninsula from 711 CE to 750 CE, excepting the northern provinces which today are identified as A Coruña, Asturias, Santander, País Vasco, Pamplona, and Gerona. However, they held the northernmost territories (such as Barcelona) for around 70 years. By 1038, Alfonso VI had reconquered the northern half of Spain. By 1248, the only Muslim Kingdom remaining in Spain was the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, which survived until it too was conquered in 1492. The Muslims only ruled the Grenada area for 800 years.
