Kingdom of Fez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
