Years: 1009 - 1009
The next few years in al-Andalus will see rapid changes of leadership as a result of wars between Berber and Arab armies, as well as of Slavic mercenaries (or enslaved Slavs; sources differ).
Sanchuelo is assassinated in 1009, and in November, the Berbers, aided by Sancho Garces of Castile, overthrow the usurper Muhammad II.
The combined Christian-Muslim forces then plunder Cordoba and install Süleyman as caliph.
With central authority in al-Andalus thus weakened, the caliphate breaks up into small quarreling taifas, or factional states, each with an independent emir or king.
