Aixa

Aisha al-Hurra (Arabic: عائشة الحرة; fl. 1493), generally known by the Spanish spelling Aixa, was a Queen of the Nasrid dynasty. She was the spouse of Muhammad X and of Abu l-Hasan Ali, and the mother of Muhammad XI. She was politically active and exerted influence upon the state policy during the last years of the Emirate of Granada. Aixa is one of the best known women of the history of the Emirate of Granada. Aixa was also known by the Muslims as ʿAisha al-Ḥorra; "al-Ḥorra" being a noble title (meaning "Free Woman") because she was one of the living descendants of Muhammed.
