The 'Kingdom of Fez' was a powerful kingdom partitioned from the
Marinid dynasty in
1374. It covered a vast area in what is today known as eastern
Algeria to the gates of
Tlemsen (or Tlemcen), Spanish
Plaza de soberanía and northern
Morocco.
Morocco was divided into two separate provinces; the Kingdom of Fez and the
Kingdom of Marrakech[1]. The two kingdoms were separated by the
Oum Er-Rbia River[1]. Each province was governed by independent Marinid princes.
The kingdom has remained eight years without a sovereign
[2].
1415 lost
Ceuta and
Perejil Island to
Portugal.
1497 Spain captured
Melilla, zone frontier with the
Tlemcen Kingdom.
