New Granada was the name given to a group of colonial provinces in northern South America, corresponding mainly to modern Colombia.
To establish civil government in New Granada, an Audiencia (a "court of hearing") was established at Santa Fé de Bogotá in 1548-1549, a body that combined executive and judicial authority, until a presidencia or governor was established in 1564, assuming executive powers.
After Ecuador and Venezuela had established their independence, a "Republic of New Granada" centered around the capital of Bogotá lasted from 1831 to 1856, and "New Granada" was a usage that later survived in conservative circles, such as among ecclesiastics.

ABENCERRAGES, a family or faction that is said to have held a prominent position in the Moorish kingdom of Granada in the isth century.
The name appears to have been derived from the Yussuf ben-Serragh, the head of the tribe in the time of Mahommed VII., who did that sovereign good service in his struggles to retain the crown of which he was three times deprived.
Nothing is known of the family with certainty; but the name is familiar from the interesting romance of Gines Perez de Hita, Guerras civiles de Granada, which celebrates the feuds of the Abencerrages and the rival family of the Zegris, and the cruel treatment toswhich the former were subjected.

A sailor and a mapmaker, he became convinced that he could reach Asia by sailing west (instead of south around Africa) - thus opening up a new trade route and perhaps even gaining China as an ally against the Muslims - and he began seeking financial backing for this idea in the 1480s.
He turned to the Iberian peninsula (now organized in the countries Spain and Portugal), which was then ruled by four Christian kingdoms (Aragon, Castille, Saville, and Portugal) and one Muslim kingdom (Granada).
King Joao II of Portugal rejected the proposal, but King Ferdinand of Aragon and his wife, Queen Isabel of Castille, gave it years of consideration.
