Idrisid dynasty |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.03 sec. |
Idrisid dynastyArab Muslim dynasty that ruled Berber areas of Morocco (789–921). The founder, Idris I (r. 789–791), established the sharifian tradition in Morocco, by which the claim to descent from Muhammad was established as the principle for monarchic rule. His son Idris II (r. 803–828) founded Fez (modern Fès) in 808. The dynasty was the first to incorporate both Berbers and Arabs. It broke up into rival principalities, paving the way for another Berber group, the Almoravid dynasty. How to thank TFD for its existence?
