Al-Nasir ibn Alnas
Al-Nasir ibn Alnas was the Hammadid ruler of the central Maghreb from 1062 to 1088, under whom the dynasty reached its height. Pressed by the Banu Hilal Arab tribes in the interior, he founded a new capital on the coast at Béjaïa, which he called al-Nasiriyya, and developed it as a port trading with Italian cities. He also exchanged letters with Pope Gregory VII.
