Banu Sumadih

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Banu Sumadih were an Islamic dynasty that ruled Almería in Al-Andalus in the 11th century, subordinate to Zaragoza, until it was conquered by the Almoravids. Their last emir fled to the Hammadid king al-Mansur, who gave him command of Dellys in Algeria.

Its rulers were:

• Ma'n ibn Muhammad ibn Sumadih (1041–1051), installed by Zaragoza
• Al-Mu'tasim ibn Sumadih (1051–1091), a noted Arabic poet
• Mu'izz ud-Dawla ibn Sumadih (1091), fled to the Hammadids; granted command of Dellys from 1102.
