In The 12th Century, The Almohads Transferred The Capital Of Muslim Iberia From Córdoba To Seville. During The Struggle For Succession That Erupted In 1224, Abd Allah Al-Bayyasi Established Himself In The City Of Cordova, After Capturing The City And Raiding The Region, In Defiance Of His Cousin Abdallah Al-Adil, Who Had Declared Himself Caliph.
