Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn ʿAmmār ibn al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAmmār Silves.
Ibn Ammar became
Abbad III al-Mu'tamid. However, Al-Mu'tamid's father, Abbad II al-Mu'tadid
disapproved of the relationship and sent him into exile.
Al-Mu'tamid named him prime minister some time after the death of his father.Alfonso VI of Castile to turn away from Seville.
He engineered the annexation of the taifa of Murcia to the kingdom of Seville, and convinced al-Mu'tamid to name him as its governor. He proclaimed himself its king and cut off relations with al-Mu'tamid. He soon fell from power, was captured in an ambush, and was imprisoned in Seville. Al-Mu'tamid was initially inclined to forgiveness, but was later incensed by something he read in an intercepted letter sent by Ibn Ammar from his prison cell. The king then killed the poet with his own hands.[3]
