Description
Summary:In the year 909 AD, Abū ‘Abd Allāh al-Šī‘ī conquered the Aghlabid emirate in the name of the Imām ‘Abd Allāh al-Mahdī, who was gloriously led to Qayrawān in the same year. Thus, the Fatimid caliphate was born, which included Sicily, along with most of North Africa. Initially, the people of Sicily accepted the new Isma‘īlī sovereigns’ domination, but soon a phase of instability began which would lead, under ibn Qurhub’s leadership, to a full blown revolution and to the return of Sicily within the ranks of the Abbasid caliphate. Ibn Qurhub’s adventure was brief, and in a few years the Fatimids managed to reaffirm their dominion over the island, but what happened in these delicate phases of the history of Sicily is surely important to understand the historical dynamics of that time in the Mediterranean.
