The Taifa of Majorca was a medieval Moorish taifa kingdom which existed from 1018 to 1203 in Majorca.
The First Taifa of Mallorca lasted for about 50 years (1076-1116), first succumbing to a Christian Crusade and later being occupied by the Almoravids. After a period in which the Balearic Islands were integrated into the Almoravid Empire, it ended up disintegrating, as it happened with the Caliphate of Córdoba.
A new, independent kingdom arose, the Second Taifa of Majorca (1147-1203), which would become the last Almoravid stronghold in Al-Andalus against the Almohads advance.
