Its latinization is ''Alfagit'' in the contemporary ''Historia Roderici'' (). was the Hudid ruler of the ''taifas'' of Dénia, Lleida and Tortosa from 1081 until his death. Prior to 1081, Mundhir ruled Dénia and Tortosa in the name of his father, al-Muqtadir. (Dénia had been conquered by al-Muqtadir in 1076.) According to the ''Memoirs'' of ʿAbd Allāh of Granada, "his aged father, however, allowed him no money lest, in view of his impetuosity and thrusting nature, he should oppose his brother" al-Muʾtamin. In the autumn of 1081, the ill al-Muqtadir divided his realm between his sons, with al-Muʾtamin receiving the western portion based on Zaragoza and Mundhir the eastern one based on Lleida, including Dénia and Tortosa. Al-Muqtadir only died around July 1082. Mundhir, according to ʿAbd Allāh, "would not submit to al-Muʾtamin, but considered himself his equal bec ...

Taifa De Zaragoza 1080
The taifas (from ''ṭā'ifa'', plural ''ṭawā'if'', meaning "party, band, faction") were the independent Muslim principalities and kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula (modern Portugal and Spain), referred to by Muslims as al-Andalus, that emerged from the decline and fall of the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba between 1009 and 1031. They were a recurring feature of al-Andalus history. The ''taifas'' were eventually incorporated by the Almoravid dynasty in the late 11th century and, on its collapse, many ''taifas'' re-appeared only to be incorporated by the Almohad Caliphate. The fall of the Almohads resulted in a flourishing of the ''taifas'', and this was the case despite constant warfare with Christian kingdoms. Taifa kings were wary of calling themselves "kings", so they took the title of ''hajib'', presenting themselves as representatives for a temporarily absent caliph. The ''taifa'' courts were renowned centres of cultural excellence in which poets, scientists, and other ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

11th-century Births
The 11th century is the period from 1001 (represented by the Roman numerals MI) through 1100 (MC) in accordance with the Julian calendar, and the 1st century of the 2nd millennium. In the history of Europe, this period is considered the early part of the High Middle Ages. There was, after a brief ascendancy, a sudden decline of Byzantine power and a rise of Norman domination over much of Europe, along with the prominent role in Europe of notably influential popes. Christendom experienced a formal schism in this century which had been developing over previous centuries between the Latin West and Byzantine East, causing a split in its two largest denominations to this day: Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. In Song dynasty China and the classical Islamic world, this century marked the high point for both classical Chinese civilization, science and technology, and classical Islamic science, philosophy, technology and literature. Rival political factions at the Song dynast ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sulaymān Sayyid Al-Dawla
Sulaymān Sayyid al-Dawla (or Sulaymān ibn Hūd) was the Hudid ruler of the ''taifas'' of Dénia in 1090–1092 and Lleida and Tortosa in 1090–1099. Sulaymān was the son and successor of Mundhir al-Ḥājib. He was a minor at his accession and was under the guardianship of three men of the Banū Batīr, although the ''Memoirs'' of ʿAbd Allāh of Granada mentions a single vizier. The regents divided the ''taifa'' between them, one holding Dénia, one Tortosa and another Játiva. They negotiated the payment of a large annual tribute (''parias'') of 50,000 dinars to the warlord El Cid. They also ceded to El Cid the towns of Lucena, and Villafranca. The vizier of Játiva had the castle of razed after offering it to El Cid in lieu of tribute. Sulaymān's residence was in Dénia. In 1091 or 1092, the Almoravids took Dénia and Játiva.

Battle Of Morella
The Battle of Morella (14 August 1084×88), southwest of Tortosa, was fought between Sancho Ramírez, King of Aragon and Navarre, and Yusuf al-Mu'tamin, King of Zaragoza, while the former was engaged in a campaign of conquest against the latter. All surviving sources for the battle are either later by a generation or literary in character, and they are confused on the chronology and dating of the event. The encounter was a defeat for Sancho and sparked a brief reversal of fortunes in the Navarro-Aragonese ''Reconquista''. The Castilian hero, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, El Cid, was a general for al-Mu'tamin at the time. According to the Aragonese ''Crónica de San Juan de la Peña'' (''c''.1370), Sancho later sought out El Cid, who had also defeated his father in the Battle of Graus (1063), and defeated him in the year 1088. However, the ''Crónica'' is the only source mentioning such an encounter and, as it was written three hundred years later, most leading scholars give no credenc ...
