'Abd ar-Rahman III was ushered to the Umayyad throne by destiny.
However, upon the death of Ramero II, the internal struggle for power between his two sons lead to the deterioration of conditions within the kingdom of Leon to such an extent that 'Abd ar-Rahman was called upon by his enemies to settle the issue between the two Christian brothers.
But 'Abd ar-Rahman was not oblivious of the danger, and was able to confront the Fatimids courageously and forcefully, and although he had protected the integrity of the state quite efficiently, one important element had skipped his mind, namely, the importance of having a strong naval force.

 Abd ar-Rahman I
However, luck was soon to befall al-Andalus from the surprising arrival of a wandering figure of royalty who escaped with his life amidst political turbulence in his native Syrian homeland.
Abd ar-Rahman I, was barely 20-years old when he saw the massacre of his ruling Umayyad dynasty by the Abassids in Syria.
Nevertheless, neither he nor a single one of his successors managed to reclaim their Syrian homeland, but there is no doubt that Abd-ar-Rahman restored political and financial order in the province along with the development of the local infrastructure.

 Caliph of Cordoba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Rulers of the Emirate were content to use the title emir or sultan until the 10th century, when Abd-ar-Rahman III was faced with the threat of invasion by the Fatimids, a rival Islamic empire based in Cairo.
Partially to help in his fight against the invading Fatimids, who claimed the Caliphate in opposition to the generally recognized Abbasidian Caliph of Baghdad, Rahman III claimed the title of Caliph himself.
This move helped Rahman III gain prestige with his subjects, and the title was retained even after the Fatimids were repulsed.
