Murcia, Muslim statelet, or taifa, of

Years: 1012 - 1014

The Taifa of Murcia is one of the Taifas of medieval Al-Andalus, in what is now southern Spain.

It becomes independent as a taifa centered on the Moorish city of Murcia after the fall of the Omayyad Caliphate of Córdoba (11th century).

Moorish Taifa of Murcia includes Albacete and part of Almería as well.The taifa is apparently the one that exists the greatest number of separate time periods (five): from 1011 to 1014, from 1065 to 1078, in 1145, from 1147 to 1172 and finally from 1228 to 1266 when it is absorbed by Castile.The Kingdom of Murcia later will become one of the kingdoms of the Crown of Castile.
