At the eastern end of the Almohad …

Years: 1108 - 1252

At the eastern end of the Almohad empire, the sultan leaves an autonomous viceroy whose office becomes hereditary in the line of Muhammad ibn Abu Hafs (reigned 1207-21), a descendant of one of Ibn Tumart's companions.

With the demise of the Almohad dynasty in Morocco, the Hafsids adopt the titles of caliph and sultan and consider themselves the Almohads' legitimate successors, keeping alive the memory of Ibn Tumart and the ideal of Maghrebi unity from their capital in Tunis.
