Yazid III
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yazid ibn Al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik or Yazid III (701 - 744) (Arabic: يزيد ابن الوليد ابن عبد الملك) was an Umayyad caliph. He only reigned for six months before his death.
His reign was marked by his defective measures, earning him the title of "The Deficient". Among the most notable was his refusal to pay a raise promised to the Army by al-Walid II. Yazid was succeeded by his brother Ibrahim ibn al-Walid.
