Al-Andalus is the Arabic name for the Muslim-ruled parts of the Iberian Peninsula.
State law-wise, al-Andalus was successively a province founded by Caliph Al-Walid I of the Umayyad Caliphate or the Abbasids; followed by the Emirate of Córdoba, the Caliphate of Córdoba, and a group of Taifa kingdoms.

In the first half of the 13th century, large parts – except the Emirate of Granada – were conquered by Christian realms. During long periods, especially during the time of the Caliphate of Córdoba, al-Andalus was a center of learning. Córdoba became a leading cultural and economic hub of both the Mediterranean region and the Islamic world.

Abd ar-Rahmān was a great-nephew of al-Mundhir and succeeded his grandfather Abdallah (whose ʿAbd ar-Rahmān’s father had had him executed) as ruler of the Emirate of Córdoba. He first managed to quell several revolts and to subdue Seville. The insurgent ʿUmar ibn Hafsūn submitted to Abd ar-Rahmān’s rule on the promise of impunity and remained loyal to him until his death.

After Abd ar-Rahmān had already reinforced the fleet, he first responded to appeals from Berber princes in the Maghreb against the Fatimids.

Abd ar-Rahmān had the fortress razed. In the same year, the Marwanids of Mérida were subjugated. With the conquest of Toledo, the pacification of the realm could be completed.
