Everything about Ibn Marwan totally explained
Ibn Marwân (
‘Abd al Rahmân Ibn Marwân ibn Yūnus, also known as
Ibn al-Djillīqui or "Son of a
Galician") (d. c.
889), was a
Iberian Sufi Muladi whose family had come from
northern Portugal and settled near
Merida.
In 868, leading a host of Muladin and
Mozarabs, he rebelled against
Emir Muhammad I of Córdoba and after a heroic resistance he got honourable surrendering terms from the Emir and was given
Badajoz whom he started to fortify.
Knowing of an incoming attack by the Emirate forces, he fled northwards settling in the castle of
Karkar (now Carquere, near
Lamego, Portugal). Afterwards, at Ibn Marwân’s request, king
Alfonso III of León sent him auxiliary troops and the combined army defeated the Emirate forces. Returning to Badajoz, now a well fortified city, he established his rule throughout the whole of the
Al'Garb Al'Andalus.
Between 876 and 877 he also erected the Castle of
Marvão, in Portugal, a place already known in the 10th century as
Amaia de Ibn Maruán or
Fortaleza de Amaia.
His dynasty lasted until 930.
