Abbad III al-Mu'tamid
Encyclopedia : A : AB : ABB : Abbad III al-Mu'tamid
Muhammad III al-Mu'tamid (1027 - 1095), was the third and last ruler (reigned 1069-1091) of Sevilla in Spain from Abbadid dynasty.
After his father Abbad II al-Mu'tadid died he inherited this relatively new kingdom (his grandfather, Abu al-Qasim Muhammad ibn Abbad had founded it) and became Muslim ruler of Sevilla in 1069. In 1071 he attempted at seizing the surrounding area and kingdom called Córdoba. He lost Córdoba in 1075 but regained it in 1078.
Al-Mu'tamid supported Almoravid ruler Yusuf ibn Tashfin against Castilian King Alfonso VI in battle of az-Zallaqah (1086). After another decade his whole kingdom was overthrown (both Sevilla and Córdoba) and he was deposed.
Al-Mu'tamid was not only the patron of the Andalusi Arabic poet Ibn Ammar, but is also usually considered in his own right one of the greatest of the Andalusi poets.
