Everything about Banu Hud totally explained
, constructed by Ahmad I al-Muqtadir.]]The
Banu Hud (بنو هود) were an
Arab dynasty that ruled the
taifa of
Zaragoza from
1039-
1110. In
1039, under the leadership of
Al-Mustain I, Sulayman ibn Hud al-Judhami, the Bani Hud seized control of Zaragoza from a rival clan, the
Banu Tujibi. His heirs, particularly
Ahmad I al-Muqtadir (
1046-
1081),
Yusuf al-Mutamin (
1081-
1085), and
Al-Mustain II, Ahmad ibn Yusuf (
1085-
1110), were patrons of culture and the arts: the
Aljafería, the royal residence erected by Ahmad I, is practically the only palace from that period to have survived almost in its entirety.
Despite their independence, the Banu Hud were forced to recognize the superiority of the
Kingdom of Castile and pay
parias to it as early as
1055. In
1086, they led the smaller kingdoms in their resistance to the
Almoravids, who didn't succeed in conquering Zaragoza until May
1110. The conquest represented the end of the dynasty. The last of the Banu Hud, Imad al-Dawl abd al-malik al Hud, the last king of Zaragoza, forced to abandon his capital, allied himself with the Christian Aragonese under
Alfonso el Batallador, who in 1118 reconquered the city for the Christians and made it the capital of the
Kingdom of Aragon.
