Abbadid dynasty

The Abbadid dynasty or Abbadids (Arabic: بنو عباد, romanizedBanū ʿAbbād) was an Arab[1] dynasty from the tribe of Banu Lakhm of al-Hirah,[2] which ruled the Taifa of Seville in al-Andalus following the fall of the Caliphate of Cordoba in 1031. After the collapse, they were the most powerful Taifa and before long absorbed most of the others.[3] Abbadid rule lasted from about 1023 until 1091,[4][5] but during the short period of its existence it exhibited singular energy and typified its time.[6]
