Abd Allah al-Murtada
Abd Allah al-Murtada was the governor of the Balearic Islands who declared himself independent at Madina Mayurqa, the later Palma, in 1076, when the Taifa of Dénia, which had ruled the islands, was annexed by Zaragoza. He ruled the Taifa of Majorca until his death around 1093, presiding over an island state that lived from farming, fishing and Mediterranean trade.
