| With the exile of al-Muʿtamid and his family to Morocco began the ascendency in Spain of the Almoravids. |
| Finally, around the middle of the eleventh century, a confederation of tribes called the Almoravids conquered all of Morocco, as well as much of Spain. |
| The twelfth century was marked by instability, due to continued fighting between the Almoravids and Almohad control in the region. |
| The Almoravids bestowed their support on Avempace and other non religious scholars in spite of being very reverential to the Malikite jurists. |
| We heard stories about the battles between the Berbers and the Almoravids. |
| It probably dates right back to the establishment of the City of Marrakesh, which was founded in 1070 by the Almoravids. |
