1021 CE
The Caliphate of Cordoba breaks up into the taifa kingdoms.
The Berber mercenary Abdallah ibn Muhammad ibn Maslamah ibn al-Aftas (1022–1045) takes control of Badajoz, following the death of Sabur al-Khatib (a Slavic serf, previously serving at the court of Caliph al-Hakam II, that had proclaimed himself Lord of Badajoz in 1009, and that Ibn al-Aftas had served).
Ibn al-Aftas has added to his name the Laqab al-Mansur Billah (Victorious by Grace of God), and rules over an extensive part of the Al Garb Al Andalus, from the Douro river to the south of Tagus river, establishing the taifa of Badajoz.
Sabur's sons flee to Lisbon, where they create the short-lived taifa of Lisbon.
