The event linked with it

Al-Maqqari reports that the sultan Abu Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Abi al-Hasan, lord of Granada, was taken prisoner near Lucena in Rabi al-Awwal 888 AH. His army was broken in the mountains of its districts. The lord of Lucena learned of it, and he fled with him by night and brought him to the lord of Castile. ²

The town lies within al-Andalus. The date here rests on one source, and it needs an additional one.

دخول عبد الرحمن الداخل الأندلس

In year 138 Abd al-Rahman ibn Muawiya ibn Hisham the Umayyad entered al-Andalus and seized it; his days extended and al-Andalus remained in his descendants' hands past the year 400. A man of learning and justice whose mother was Berber, they said: 'The world is ruled by two sons of Berber women — al-Mansur and Abd al-Rahman ibn Muawiya.' By year 148 nothing lay outside al-Mansur's sway but al-Andalus, held by Abd al-Rahman, who did not take the title Commander of the Faithful but only amir — as did his sons.
