al-Mu'izz ibn Ziri ibn Atiyya

المعز بن زيري بن عطية

al-Mu'izz ibn Ziri ibn Atiyya al-Maghrawi, second king of the Banu Ziri at Fez; all Maghrawa gave him bay'a after his father, he clung to the Amirid da'wa, then petitioned Abd al-Malik al-Muzaffar to restore his office against tribute and his son Ma'nsar as hostage at Cordoba — restored in 406, he was fought for Fez by his cousin Ma'nsar, and his heirs kept the city until the Sanhaja commander Hamama Abu al-Attaf seized it and all their realm, the line lingering in the fitnas until the Almoravid state.

موجز

المعز بن زيري بن عطية المغراوي، ثاني ملوك بني زيري بفاس، ومن مغراوة. بايعته مغراوة كلها بعد أبيه. وتمسك بالدعوة العامرية. ثم سأل عبد الملك المظفر أن يعيده إلى عمله مقابل مال يحمله إليه، على أن يكون ابنه معنصر رهينة بقرطبة. فأجابه وأعاده سنة 406هـ. 1

بعد عودته

خرج عليه ابن عمه معنصر ونازعه على فاس. وتوارث أبناؤه الملك، إلى أن غلب القائد الصنهاجي حمامة أبو العطاف على فاس وسائر عملهم. ويذكر ابن خلدون أن بقاءهم دام في الفتن إلى دولة المرابطين. 1

يذكر المصدر ابن عمه باسم معنصر، وهو اسم ابنه أيضاً في الرواية نفسها؛ فهذا يحتاج إلى مراجعة النص.
