Abbadid dynasty

1023–1091 · 11th century · Also known as Abbadids, Banu Abbad

The Abbadids were an Arab dynasty that ruled the Taifa of Seville in al-Andalus from 1023 to 1091. Under al-Mutadid and his son al-Mutamid, a celebrated poet, they absorbed neighbouring taifas across the south-west and made Seville the strongest Muslim state in Iberia. Pressed by Castile, al-Mutamid called in the Almoravids, who deposed him in 1091.
