| Additional information |
The Mujahid dynasty of Denia is one of the stranger political formations to emerge from the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba. Mujahid al-Amiri, the dynasty's founder, was a former palace slave who seized Denia and the Balearic Islands around 1010 and spent years raiding Sardinia and the Italian coast — an Andalusian warlord operating as a Mediterranean pirate-king. His son 'Ali, who took the laqab Iqbal al-dawla, inherited a much-reduced realm and spent his reign navigating Castilian and Aragonese pressure until Denia was finally absorbed by the Taifa of Zaragoza in 1076.
