There are no records until 1010, when they became administrators of irrigation of Valencia and were responsible for the water supply and food supply of the city. As the result of a military coup, of which the details have been lost, they became joint rulers of Valencia in 1010. Their administration was known for collecting 120,000 dinars of taxes a month, which was an extremely large sum at the time. Mubarak died in a riding accident in 1018, and shortly thereafter Muzaffar was killed in an uprising. [3]
