744 CE
The Syrian junds are allocated a third of the tax revenues collected in their regions, and given responsibilities of tax-collection and military service to the Andalusian governor.
The arrival of the Syrian junds is to have tremendous implications for subsequent Spanish history.
They increase substantially the Arab element on the Iberian peninsula, and, as such, are instrumental in deepening the Muslim hold on the south, what will become the heart of al-Andalus, but they also bring trouble.
Unwilling to be governed, the Syrian junds will carry on an existence of autonomous feudal anarchy, severely destabilizing the power of the governor of al-Andalus.
