JJ-ALM-14B - Almoravid Officer and Drummer

The Almoravids, also known as the Murabits, were a fundamentalist Islamic movement of the 11th and 12th Centuries. Founded by Ibn Yasin, in southern Morocco, they combined devotion to Islam with a fierce military tradition, and a desire to conquer. In 1070, the Almoravids established their capital city at Marrakesh, which at the time, was little more than a mosque in the desert surrounded by the tents of the faithful.

Al-Andalus was the Muslim -ruled area of the Iberian Peninsula.
The name more specifically describes the different Arab or Berber states that controlled these territories at various times between 711 and 1492, though the boundaries changed constantly as the Christian Reconquista progressed.

Nearly all of the warring factions in Spain used local Andalusian troops as allies in their armies. Christian kingdoms often called upon their neighbouring states to assist in campaigns against Moorish troops, or they were also found joining the jihads in the armies of the invading Almoravids and Almohads.
