Muhammad ibn Marwan, when al-Walid I acceded …
Years: 710 - 710
Muhammad ibn Marwan, when al-Walid I acceded to the throne in 705, had begun to be eclipsed by his nephew Maslama ibn Abd al-Malik, who like him had also born to an enslaved woman.
Maslama had assumed the leadership of the campaigns against Constantinople, and finally replaces Muhammad completely in his capacity as governor of Mesopotamia, Armenia and Azerbaijan in 709/710.
