I have a story in mind where one of the characters is based on what would be a prince of Spain—during one of those 700 years spain was an Islamic state.

I am not Muslim, nor have Muslim/arab roots. I ask because even if it's far into the past time period I would be writing a character with heavy religious imagery and cultural background.

I also ask because the story is somewhat fantastic, and as such it would not be a Spanish character, but one from a fake country; only taking the inspiration from the time period.

Would it be appropriation?
