The family of the Fatimid general Jawhar…

958 CE

The family of the Fatimid general Jawhar al-Siqilli originated from the Emirate of Sicily (hence his epithet the Sicilian).

He had come as a slave to North Africa and, because of his intelligence and cunning, had been sent to the Caliph Ismail al-Mansur.

Under his son al-Muizz, he had gained his freedom and become his personal secretary.

Soon he was Vizir and the highest-ranking military commander of the Fatimids.

In this role, he has resumed the expansion of the Fatimids.

He takes Ifgan, the capital of the rebellious Kharijite Banu Ya'la tribesmen.
