MUHAMMAD IBN ABBAD AL MUTAMID

(Redirected from Abbad III al-Mu\'tamid)
''This article is about the Andalusi Arabic poet who was also the Abbadid king of Seville. For 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 Spain 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 not only the patron of the Andalusi Arabic poet Ibn Ammar, but is also, usually considered in his own right, one of the greatest of the Andalusi poets.
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.
