Hammudid dynasty
(Redirected from Hammudid)
The Hammudid dynasty (Arabic: بنو حمود, romanized: Banū Ḥammūd) was an Arab Muslim[1][2] dynasty that briefly ruled the Caliphate of Córdoba[3][4] and the taifas of Málaga and Algeciras, with nominal control in Ceuta.[1]
List of rulers
[edit]The dynasty traced its descent from Idris ibn Abdallah, founder of the Idrisid dynasty and great-grandson of Hasan ibn Ali, grandson of Muhammad.[5] When Sulayman ibn al-Hakam carved out Andalusian land for his Berber allies, two Hammudid brothers were given the governorship of Algeciras, Ceuta and Tangier. Claiming to act on behalf of the dethroned Hisham II, the governor of Ceuta Ali ibn Hammud marched upon Córdoba in 1016, and assumed the title of caliph.
After their rule as caliphs ended, Hammudids ruled over Málaga till its conquest by Zirids of Granada in 1056.[6] They were then forced to settle in Ceuta.
