Overview
Wanudin ibn Khazrun ibn Falful al-Maghrawi, the second of the Banu Khazrun kings of Sijilmasa 1.
Rule
He sought safe conduct from Zirri ibn Atiyya at Fez, together with the notables of the Banu Khazr, and he granted them safety. Then he returned to his post and made himself independent in the rule of Sijilmasa from the first year of 390 AH. He established the Marwanid call on a clear covenant with al-Saqlabi, in return for money, horses and shields that they carried every year 1.
After the weakness of the caliphate
When the thread of the caliphate at Cordoba came apart, he was alone in the affairs of Sijilmasa, and he prevailed over the district of Drar'a. His son Mas'ud succeeded him. Ibn Khaldun reports that the affair of the Banu Khazrun dwindled until they perished in the conquests of the Almoravids 2.
