1009 CE

When Abd al-Rahman Sanchuelo goes on an expedition against King Alfonso V of León in February 1009, a popular uprising in 1009 led by Muhammad II al-Mahdi, a member of the Umayyad dynasty, deposes both Sanchuelo and Hisham II, the latter being kept imprisoned in Cordoba under the new regime.

Muhammad destroys the residence of Sanchuelo, called al-Madina al-Zahira ("the flourishing city").

On receiving this news, Sanchuelo returns to Córdoba but his troops abandon him.

He is arrested by the order of al-Mahdi and assassinated on March 3.
