ALMORAVIDES

ALMORAVID, also Almoravide, was a Moslem dynasty which subdued first Fez and Morocco, and then South Spain, from 1055 to 1147. They had firmly established their empire in the 11th century in Morocco, Algeria, and Spain, but soon were driven out by the Almohads.

A member of this dynasty, or federation of Muslim Berber peoples, is also known by this name.
