Banu Isam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

The Banu Isam were a Berber Muslim dynasty that ruled Ceuta, present-day Spain, for four generations. The town had been destroyed in a rebellion, and was lying waste; sometime in the middle of the 9th century, Mâjakas, chief of the Berber Majkasa tribe, resettled it and founded a dynasty that ruled the town until the Umayyads took it over in 931.[1][2]

Its kings were:

  • Mâjakas
  • `Isâm, son of Mâjakas
  • Majîr, son of `Isâm
  • Ridâ, son of `Isâm (?-931), who paid allegiance to the Idrisids, but surrendered the city to the Umayyads when the Idrisid capital fell.
