III/75 ISLAMIC BERBER 1039 AD - 1529 AD

This list starts with the fanatical Murabit “Confederate” sect founded in Morocco in 1039 AD, which had imposed its rule by forced conversion on the whole of Morocco by 1084. In 1086, they crossed into Spain and by 1110 had subjected all the Andalusian Arab states. A new sect, the Aimohades “Unitarians” rose up in 1121 and by 1145 controlled not only the former Murabit territories but the whole North African coast as far as the border of Egypt. Marinid rebels progressively replaced the Almohades in Morocco 1215-1269. The Marinids lost face after the Portuguese seizure of the coastal city of Ceuta in 1415 and were replaced by the Hafsids, Wattasids and Zayanids. The list ends with the introduction of firearms.
