AIXA
Aisha al-Hurra (Arabic: عائشة الحرة), generally known under her Spanish name Aixa (fl. 1493), was a Queen of the Nasrid dynasty. She was the spouse of Muhammed XI and of Abu l-Hasan Ali, and the mother of Muhammad XII. She was politically active and exerted influence upon the policy of state 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 Aisha al-Horra; "al-Horra" being a noble title (meaning "Free Woman") due to the fact that she was one of the living descendants of Muhammed.
