Maghrawa

The Maghrawa or Meghrawa (Arabic: المغراويون) were a large Berber tribal confederation in North Africa. They were the largest branch of the Zenata confederation.[1] Their traditional territories around the time of Muslim expansion into the Maghreb in the 7th century were around present-day northeastern Algeria.[2][3][4] They ruled parts of the western Maghreb on behalf of the Umayyad Caliphate of Cordoba at the end of the 10th century and during the first half of the 11th century.
