The Taifa of Badajoz (from

Arabic: طائفة بطليوس) was a medieval Islamic Moorish kingdom located in what is now parts of Portugal and Spain. It was centred on the city of Badajoz which exists today as the first city of Extremadura, in Spain.[1]

History

The taifa of Badajoz rose, like the other

Kingdom of León-Castile, losing significant parts of its territory south of the Mondego River (south of Coimbra). The Abbadids of Seville
also conquered parts of their territory.

After the death of Abdallah's son, Abu Bakr, a civil war broke out between the latter's sons, Yahya and Abu, the former being victorious. His troops fought alongside the

Alfonso VI of Castile. In 1094 the Almoravids occupied Badajoz and Yahya was killed together with two of his sons. A surviving son fled first to Montánchez
and then to Alfonso's court.

After the tafia's original territory had been controlled by various kingdoms (Almoravids,

Almohads, Portugal
) in succession, a second independent taifa was briefly recreated in Badajoz, existing from 1144 to 1150, when it fell again under Almohad dominion.
