Overview

Abd al-Malik al-Muzaffar, son of al-Mansur ibn Abi Amir. 2

In the Maghrib

Al-Maqqari reports that his father sent him to the Maghrawa kings in Fez, of the house of Khazar. When he became angry with Zirí ibn Atiyya, he struck him in 386 AH, entered Fez and took its rule. 2 He appointed the Zanata kings over the lands and provinces of the Maghrib, from Sijilmasa and elsewhere, and drove Zirí out to Tahart. 2

Return to Cordoba

He then returned to Cordoba and appointed Wadih as governor of the Maghrib, and after his father he held the office of chamberlain in the same manner. 2

Al-Mansur's forty-eighth raid and his deepest: from Cordoba, 6 Jumada II 387, to Santiago de Compostela — the Christians' Kaaba — reached empty on Wednesday 2 Sha'ban; its church, walls and factories demolished, the apostle's tomb guarded and the lone monk 'Ones of James' spared, then the army pushed to Santi Mankish island, 'a limit no Muslim had reached before them', and he wrote his victory dispatch from Baliquiya.
