Resistance and Assimilation after the Almohad Conquest

View through CrossRef
This chapter focuses on the transformation of the Almohad caliphate by its conquest and incorporation of Ibn Mardanīsh's kingdom. Although Almohad chronicles present Ibn Mardanīsh's death and defeat as a victory, close attention to the material landscape the Almohads inherited and the people they incorporated into their realm shows that his ideologies and the forms that encoded them lived on. The chapter talks about the buildings, objects, and legal practices the Almohads promoted after their incorporation of Ibn Mardanīsh's territories that were quite different from those predating their conquest. Ibn Mardanīsh's sons became governors and military commanders for the Almohads, and his daughters the wives of caliphs. The chapter details how Ibn Mardanīsh's grandson al-Ma'mūn would become the Almohad caliph and renounce the central Almohad doctrine that the dynasty's founder Ibn Tūmart had been the infallible mahdī.
