 | | After Don Julian's death, the Arabs took direct control of the city; this was resented by the surrounding Berber tribes, whodestroyed it in a Kharijite rebellion led by Maysara al-Haqir in 740. |
 | | It lay waste until refounded in the 9thcentury by Majakas, chief of the Majkasa Berber tribe, who started the short-lived dynasty of the Banu Isam.Under his great-grandson, they paid allegiance to the Idrisids (briefly); the dynasty finally ended when he abdicated in favor of the Umayyad Caliph Abd ar-Rahman III an-Nasir in 931. |
 | | Chaos ensued with the fall of theUmayyad caliphate, but eventually it was taken over by the Almoravids in 1084, and again used as a base from which to invade Spain. |
