Abu al-Hasan al-Marini's entry into Ifriqiya

دخول أبي الحسن المريني إفريقية

August 1347 CE · Jumada II 748 AH

Tunis

The sultan Abu al-Hasan al-Marini marched in Safar 748 dragging the world behind him when news came of Sultan Abu Bakr al-Hafsi's and his heir's deaths; the lords of Ifriqiya's marches met him at Oran bearing homage in desire and awe, and he entered the capital in ceremony in Jumada II, the voices hushed and the commons stilled; Bejaia and Constantine submitted, their Hafsid princes pensioned off to the Maghreb, while the fugitive amir Abu Hafs was hunted down in the Hama country, slaughtered, and his head sent on.

واقعة طريف وتمحيص المسلمين

Sultan Abu al-Hasan crossed in late 740 and encamped before Tarifa; Yusuf I of Granada joined him with the Andalus army, they ringed the town and set engines — but the Taghiya's second fleet sealed the Strait, starved the camp, and he mustered the Christian nations with Afonso of Portugal at his side; a hidden force he slipped into Tarifa by night burst on the Muslim rear as battle joined, their lines dissolved, the royal women were taken — Aisha the sultan's cousin and Fatima among them — and the Christian king's power over the Andalus frontier was sealed.
