The territory of the taifa of Toledo …

Years: 1062 - 1062

The territory of the taifa of Toledo includes what are now the provinces of Toledo, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, the northern part of that of Albacete, Cáceres, Guadalajara (up to the frontier with the taifa of Zaragoza in Medinaceli), and that of Madrid (up to the Sierra de Guadarrama).

Ismail al-Zahir had held the throne until 1043, fighting for his independence against Córdoba.

He had been succeeded by al-Mamun, who had asked Ferdinand for assistance against Al-Mustain I of the taifa of Zaragoza; twenty years later when Toledo is attacked by Ferdinand himself, al-Mamun is forced to pay tribute to escape the menace.
