		Hisham is known to have built a number of palaces including Qasr Al-Hair Al-Gharbi, Qasr Al-Hair Al-Sharqi, Qasr Rusafa and others. However, these palaces were all located in Syria and there is no historical record that reports Hisham to have visited Palestine.
		To resolve the issue of the marble inscription, an explanation has been put forward suggesting that prince Al-Walid II was the real patron of the palace while he was the heir to the throne.
		Al-Walid II is renowned for his luxurious lifestyle spending much of his time in hunting, partying and visiting the vast country as far as Palestine and Jordan.

	Rockefeller Archeological Museum Museum/Attraction Review Jerusalem Frommers.com
		Among the museum's special treasures are 9th-century carved wooden panels from the El Aksa Mosque; crusader stonework that once adorned the entrance to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher; and richly ornamented early Islamic architectural details from the 8th century Hisham's Palace near Jericho.
		The museum's eclectic 1930s design is a Jerusalem landmark that combines elements of Byzantine, Islamic, and art deco, and includes a beautiful, recently renovated cloister garden set around a reflecting pool.
		The building was damaged during the Six-Day War, but the museum's displays were barely affected, and there was no damage at all to the many Dead Sea Scrolls kept for study in the museum at that time, under Jordanian control.

	'Abbasid, Buyid, and Seljuq Empires 750-1095 by Sanderson Beck
		The first 'Abbasid caliph's name al-Saffah means "the bloodshedder;" he did not trust Kufa and built his palace at al-Anbar north of the Euphrates, but he died in 754.
		That year the Umayyad caliph Hisham III came out of his harem, where he had been in retirement for thirty years; but after four years he was defeated and imprisoned in a dungeon by nobles, who set up a council of state in 1031.
		Nizam cited the early caliph 'Umar's response to the last Sasanian king Yazdijurd Shahryar to show that the latter's empire was declining, because his court was crowded with complainers; his treasury was full of ill-gotten wealth; and his army was disobedient.

	Abd ar-Rahman I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In his final years, Abd ar-Rahman had to contend with a succession of palace conspiracies, which he repressed brutally.
		He was a grandson of Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik, the tenth Umayyad Caliph.
		Abd ar-Rahman's army was so ill provided that he mounted almost the only good war-horse in it; he had no banner, and one was improvised by unwinding a green turban and binding it round the head of a spear.
