Everything about Muhammad Ibn Abbad Al Mutamid totally explained
» This article is about the Andalusi Arabic poet who was also the Abbadid king of Seville. For the Abbasid Caliph al-Mu'tamid, see Al-Mu'tamid.
Muhammad Ibn Abbad Al Mutamid (
1040 -
1095), was the third and last ruler (reigned 1069–1091) of
Sevilla in
Al-Andalus from
Abbadid dynasty.
After the death of his father
Abbad II al-Mu'tadid he inherited his kingdom and became Muslim ruler of Sevilla in 1069. In
1071, he attempted to seize the surrounding area and kingdom called
Córdoba. He lost Córdoba in
1075 but regained it in
1078.
Al-Mu'tamid supported the
Almoravid ruler
Yusuf ibn Tashfin against the
Castilian King
Alfonso VI in
battle of az-Zallaqah (
1086). In
1091 his kingdom was overthrown by the
Almoravids and he was deposed.
Al-Mu'tamid was the beloved, as well as the patron of the Andalusi Arabic poet
Ibn Ammar. Their relationship was stormy, and came to an end when Al Mutamid killed the poet with his own hands, only to bury him with great honors. He is also considered, in his own right, one of the greatest of the Andalusi poets. Also the Sicilian Arabic poet
Ibn Hamdis was guest and friend of him.
Al-Mu'tamid was also the father-in-law, through his son, Fath al-Mamun, (d. 1091), of
Zaida, mistress, and possibly wife, of
Alfonso VI of Castile.
See more information in
Abbadid dynasty page.
Differently from what some said, Zaida (isabella) was daughter of Al-Mutamid and not wife of the son, as is said by the Arab scholars in Morocco and such information is iscribed in her grave, zaida daughter of Abu Abbad King of Siville.
