ʿAlī ibn Ḥammūd

The query contains a misspelling of the name. The correct spelling is "Ali ibn Hammud".

Ali ibn Hammud was a Berber ruler in Muslim Spain during the early 11th century. He was a key figure in the Hammudid dynasty, which emerged during the decline of the Umayyad caliphate of Córdoba. In 1016, Ali ibn Hammud intervened in Córdoba and established his own caliphate, briefly holding the title al-Nasir. He was the first non-Umayyad to hold this position in Spain. However, his reign was short, as he was murdered by his palace slaves in 1018. The Hammudids continued to rule Málaga until 1057 and Algeciras until 1058. The period following the collapse of the caliphate saw the rise of independent principalities known as taifas.12
