Al-Qasim al-Ma'mun

Al-Qasim al-Ma'mun (arabisch المأمون القاسم بن حمود, DMG al-Maʾmūn al-Qāsim bin Ḥammūd; † 1035) war von 1018 bis 1021 und 1023 Kalif von Córdoba.

Al-Qasim succeeded his brother Ali ibn Hammud al-Nasir and thus continued the rule of the Hammudids in the Caliphate of Córdoba. At first he was able to achieve a balance with the Berber leaders and consolidate his rule after the abolition of the Umayyad Abd ar-Rahman IV had already succeeded in 1018. However, Yahya al-Mutali, the son of his murdered brother Ali ibn Hammud, increasingly conspired against his rule. When his troops surrendered to Yahya, al-Qasim had to flee to Seville in August 1021.

But he was able to return to Córdoba in 1023 with the help of faithful slaves. But soon came a successful uprising of the population of Córdoba against the Berbertgruppen, which were heavily beaten. The new caliph became Abd al-Rahman V, with which the Umayyads could repress the Hammudids from the caliph empire. Al-Qasim succeeded in escaping, but he was put into the captivity of Yahya al-Mutali, who imprisoned him and executed after 13 years. Edit source text
