Egypt 641-1250 | al-Andalus |
Umayyad Maghreb . Kairouan was established in 671 by the Umayyad Caliphate as a forward army camp, in their drive to wrest the province of
Africa out of the hands of the Byzantine Empire. This was accomplished with the conquest of Carthago
in 695. By 710 Umayyad forced had reached the Atlantic coast. In Morocco's Rif Mountains, the Emirate of Nekor was established as a vassall of
the Umayyad Caliphate (until 1019). In 711 an Arab army crossed over to Spain where it conquered the Visigothic Kingdom. Berber Revolt . In 740-742 a Berber revolt eliminated Umayyad influence west of Kairouan. When the Abbasid Dynasty ousted the Umayyad Dynasty in 750, it was unable to restore Caliphate control over the Maghreb west of Kairouan. Neither was the Umayyad Dynasty establishing itself in al-Andalus able to extend her control across the Straits of Gibraltar. Rustamid Center . The Rustamid Dynasty, having evolved out of the Berber Revolt, ruled the central Maghreb 761-909. Capital Tahert. Idrisid Morocco . 789-985, capital Fez, Zaidi. In 917-926 the Idrisids were defeated by the Fatimids and withdrew to mountain strongholds, never again to control Morocco. The Emirate of Nekor, as well as Sijilmassa and the Barghawata Confederacy (Tamesna) were able to retain their independence. Ifranid West . 790-1068, capital Tlemcen, Sufri. Aghlabid Ifriqiya . 800-909, capital Kairouan, Sunni; a dynasty of Abbasid governors. In 827 the conquest of Sicily was begun. In 909 overthrown by the Fatimids. Fatimid Maghreb . The Fatimid Dynasty was proclaimed in 909, then with its capital at Mahdia. By the early 920s it had established control over practically the entire Maghreb. In 969 Egypt (with Syria and the Hejaz) was conquered and the capital moved to Cairo. The Fatimid Dynasty declared Shi'a Islam official religion (in contrast to the Sunni Abbasid Caliphate) and claimed the title of Caliph for themselves. Zirid East . In 973 the Fatimid governor of Kairouan abandoned the Shi'a interpretation of Islam in favour of the Sunni interpretation, and (nominally) recognised the Abbasid ruler as Caliph. The Zirid Dynasty ruled from 973 to 1152; a branch of the dynasty ruled part of al-Andalus (Granada). The Fatimid Dynasty responded by moving the Banu Hilal, a tribe of Bedouins, from the Arab peninsula into the Sahara desert. They employed Bedouin warfare against the Zirid Dynasty. The Banu Hilal are credited with having greatly expanded the Arab-speaking parts of the Maghreb, and having pushed the Berber-speaking population into isolated pockets of territory. Hammadid Center . The Hammadid Dynasty, an offshoot of the Zirid Dynasty, ruled eastern Algeria from 1040 to 1157, capital Bejaia, Sunni. Almoravid West . In 1040 the Berber Almoravid Dynasty began to take control of the western Maghreb. Their capital of Marrakech was established in 1062. In 1086 an Almoravid army defeated allied Christian kings, temporarily halting the Reconquista. al-Andalus was under Almoravid control 1086-1147; in the western Maghreb it held on until 1163. Contested East . In 1148 the Norman Kingdom of Sicily began a campaign with the aim of conquering Ifriqiya; it ended in a defeat at the hands of the Almohads in 1160. Almohad West . The Almohad Dynasty was established in 1121, by 1160 it had defeated the Normans in Ifriqiya and by 1163 had defeated the Almoravids and taken control of the western Maghreb. Their capital was first at Tinmel, then at Marrakech, then at Sevilla; official religion Sunni Islam. The Almohads also took control of Moorish al-Andalus, but lost it in 1212, and soon after they lost Morocco to the Marinids (1215). The Almohad Dynasty lasted until 1269. Marinid West . The Marinid Dynasty ruled the western Maghreb (Morocco, Algiers) 1215-1465, capital Fes, Sunni. Ally of the Emirate of Granada. The fall of Ceuta to the Portuguese in 1415 was the first establishment of a Portuguese outpost on the Maghreb coast; more followed. The Portuguese regarded this warfare part of the crusade movement. Wattasid West . The Wattasid Dynasty ruled Morocco from 1472 to 1554. Capital Fez, Sunni. Ziyyanid Center . The Ziyyanid Dynasty ruled much of Algeria from 1235 to 1556. Capital Tlemcen, Sunni. Hafsid East . The Hafsid Dynasty (originally Almohad governors) ruled the eastern Maghreb from 1229 to 1574. Capital Tunis, Sunni.
