Checked again every 1500 days until trigger is met (cannot happen after December 1, 1439)

Description

Tlemcen was plagued with tribal unrest. It was composed of a very mixed population. The majority was Berber from the Zanata group, whether agricultural or stockbreeding, but the Arab tribes, mostly nomadic, held a disproportionate military power, specially the powerful Banu Hilal Bedouins. The Berber emir had only real power over the cities, and given the lack of hereditary legitimacy in Muslim countries, dynastic feuds soon turned into inter-tribal civil wars. The result of all this infighting was a lack of manpower to resist her neighbour's aggressions.

Description

The Zayyanid or Abdalwadid Berber dynasty in Tlemcen had managed to inherit the central part of the Maghreb from the Almohads. They were neither rich nor powerful, but managed to prosper with the trade routes from the interior to the coast, where Aragon took the slaves and gold to the Italian ports. However they were constantly attacked by the Banu Marinids of Morocco. When the Marinids were substituted by the weaker Wattasids, Tlemcen was no longer at risk of being annexed by Morocco, but they were left in a state of extreme weakness, and ridden with problems with the nomadic Arab tribes inside the Kingdom, that were never under control. Taking advantage of their weakness, the Hafsids of Tunis took their turn at beating them. In 1424, Abu Faris Abd al-Aziz invaded Tlemcen, and after dethroning Abu Malik Abd al-Wahid, substituted him with Abu Abd Allah Muhammad, as his vassal.

Description

Abu Malik Abd al-Wahid did not accept the situation, and gained the support of the most powerful Arab tribe, the Banu Rashid to recover his throne in 1427. It was only for a short time. Two years later with a usual shifting of alliances due to more promises, Abu Abd Allah Muhammad was back in the throne and Abu Malik Abd al-Wahid was dead. But his brother Abu l'Abbas Ahmad managed finally to win the Kingdom and restored peace in 1430.

Description

In the Autumn of 1487, with the war of Granada at its height, the sultan of Tlemcen sent an embassy to the Catholic Kings in the siege of Malaga. He petitioned the Christians to instruct their captains to not attack his subjects at sea, offering his friendship. The North African Berbers were too weak, due to their lose control of their subjects, to offer any help to Granada, but volunteers were crossing the strait to help their coreligionists. The Catholic Kings agreed but asked the sultan in return to stop any help from their subjects to Granada.

Description

The city of Wahran (Oran) was founded by Andalusians in the year 903 to increase trade with the caravan route of Sijilmasa, gateway of the gold and slave trade with Western Sudan. Its port, Mers-el-Kebir, is one of the best in the Barbary Coast. The commerce with Spain was always important, given its closeness, but Genoa, Marseille and Venice also established commercial outposts or funduqs there. Wahran remained independent from the end of the Merinid period in Tlemcen to 1437, when it finally fell to repeated attacks by the Banu Zayyan rulers of Tlemcen.

Description

Description

The confrontation between Aragon and the Sultan of the Ottomans reached Tlemcen at a delicate point, when dynastic fights were shaking the Zayyanids. The Conde de Alcaudete, military governor of Oran, joined in 1535 with tribal chief Ibn Radwan to help Zayyanid prince Abdallah overthrow his older brother Muhammad V. The expedition, including 600 Aragonese soldiers, was almost completely wiped out by the Banu Rashid tribe. However, probably because the Aragonese had taken Tunis, Sultan Muhammad agreed to pay tribute to Oran in exchange for Aragonese protection. The Zayyanid dynasty, weakened by the emergence of Al-Djazaúr, and the loss of Oran, and neighbour to a strong Morocco, was too weak to survive alone.

Description

Taking advantage of the fights between different tribes in Tlemcen, the count of Alcaudete, military governor of Spanish Oran, supported the Banu Rashid to dethrone Muhammad and install his brother Ahmad in 1545. Muhammad sought the help of Hassan Pasha, ruler of Al-Djazaîr and son of Khayr ad-Din Barbarossa, and was restored with the help of the Turks. Alcaudete attacked in 1547, but was driven back by the Turks. Meanwhile, in Morocco, the pro-Turkish Wattasid sultan Ahmad, was defeated by the Sa'did Muhammad al-Shaykh (al-Mahdi), who then invaded Tlemcen putting and end to 300 years of Zayyanid rule there. The Turkish reaction under agha Hasan Quru however drove them out. Tlemcen was under Turkish control, but disputed by Moroccans and Spanish.
