 WHKMLA : History of Spain : the Taifa Kingdoms
The Almohads reunified Muslim Spain (of the 20 Taifa Emirates, only Mallorca remained independent) and they regained ground from the christian kingdoms.
In order to halt the christian advance, the ALMORAVIDS were called in from Morocco, Muslim zealots who quickly established their rule over most of Muslim Spain (except Zaragoza), 1086/1090-1147.
Their harsh hand made their rule unpopular, as they were less tolerant toward the Jewish and Christian community living within their Caliphate.

He said although the death of innocent citizens must be a matter of concern to all, in the case of the Taifa operation, the victims cannot be said to be innocent because of the items which were found on them.

 The Kingdom of León-Castilla Under King Alfonso VI
The departure of substantial numbers of Muslim from the most mobile classes, the property owners, who preferred not to live under Christian rule or who simply did not trust the guarantees made by Alfonso, was augmented surely by those who were quietly intimidated into leaving by the conquerors who coveted their holdings.
After the latter's death al-Mustain, the new king of Zaragoza, had partisans in Valencia and a possible claim to that taifa as well.
Moreover, if the archbishop-elect were involved in some degree, as doubtless he must have been, no evidence allows us to place his election before February 1086.

 Chapter 7:The Kingdom of León-Castilla under King Alfonso VI
This episode is recorded in the Historia Roderici as an embassy by El Cid to collect the parias, or tribute due to León, from al-Mutamid, but it also clearly involves an alliance between the Christian and Muslim kings.
In retaliation El Cid, acting apparently on his own initiative, launched an extensive and destructive raid into the eastern domains of the taifa of Toledo.
The only notice in the Christian sources places the capture of that town in September 1077.

 Taifa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term taifa in the history of Iberia refers to an independent Muslim-ruled principality, an emirate or petty kingdom, of which a number formed in Spain (Arabic: "Al-Andalus") after the final collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba in 1031.
Taifas often hired Christian mercenaries to fight their neighbours.
The fanatically religious Almoravids, were invited after the fall of Toledo (1085), and the Almohads, after the fall of Lisbon (1147).

 Taifa Kingdoms
Under Christian pressure from Barcelona and the kingdom of Navarre, which briefly reunited most of northern Spain, the Córdoba Caliphate disintegrated in 1031.
At the behest of the Abbadids, alarmed at the fall of Toledo to the Christians (1085), the Moroccan Almoravid Yusuf ibn Tashfin invaded Spain and defeated a Christian army in 1086 led by Alfonso VI of Castile and León at the battle of Zallaqa (near Badajoz).
Its dissolution engendered the Taifa kingdoms ("taifa" in Arabic means faction), which included Algarve, Almería, Badajoz, Córdoba, Seville, Toledo, Granada, Saragossa, Valencia, Murcia, Denia, and others (up to 23 or more).

The taifa came to be ethnically mixed, incorporating those captured Europeans who agreed to convert to Islam and supply information useful for future raids.
The taifa also gained prestige and political influence because of its role in fighting the infidel and providing the merchants and rulers of Algiers with a major source of income.
Several captains became heros in Algerian lore for their bravery and skill.

In 1086, the Almoravids, tribesmen from the Moroccan High Atlas, crossed into Spain, and manoeuvring en masses to the sound of drums, they inflicted on the Christian knights a shattering defeat at Zallaqa near Bajadoz.
[8] The Muslim populations also became painfully aware of the relative helplessness of their own princes to stem the Christian advance, and acceding to pressures from below, the Taifa leaders were forced to appeal to the Almoravids in an attempt to halt the enemy.
This chaos was exploited by the northern Christian neighbours to start their `Reconquista.'[5] They saw their opportunity, and they made the most of it, observes Lane Poole.

Professor Branco said that is is not impossible that the coin was brought from Sevilla or via Beja by merchants.
Beja had been lost to the Taifa of Sevilla by then, but Évora remains in the territory of Badajoz.
The Taifa of Badajoz was the first to rebell against the caliph on 1023, and under the rule of Abu ‘Amr ‘Abbad ben Muhammad, also known as al-Mu’tadhid, it became the largest kingdom of all, and one of the last to fall.

 Cynthia Robinson's new book
This volume offers a reconstruction of the court culture of the taifa kings of al-Andalus (11th century A.D.), using both visual and textual evidence.
In addition, Part One also proposes that taifa court culture be considered as a culture of "courtly love," and this argument also forms the point of departure for Part Two.
The sections on the Aljafería's ornamental program will be of particular interest, not only to historians of Islamic art, but to students of all visual traditions with strong non-figural components.
