Banu Hud

Years: 1039 - 1110

The Banu Hud are an Arab dynasty that rules the taifa of Zaragoza from 1039-1110.

In 1039, under the leadership of Al-Mustain I, Sulayman ibn Hud al-Judhami, the Bani Hud seize control of Zaragoza from a rival clan, the Banu Tujibi.

His heirs, particularly Ahmad I al-Muqtadir (1046-1081), Yusuf al-Mutamin (1081-1085), and Al-Mustain II, Ahmad ibn Yusuf (1085-1110), are patrons of culture and the arts: the Aljafería, the royal residence erected by Ahmad I, is practically the only palace from this period to have survived almost in its entirety.
