Banu Hud
The Banu Hud are an Arab dynasty that rules the taifa of Zaragoza from 1039-1110.
In 1039, under the leadership of Al-Mustain I, Sulayman ibn Hud al-Judhami, the Bani Hud seize control of Zaragoza from a rival clan, the Banu Tujibi.
His heirs, particularly Ahmad I al-Muqtadir (1046-1081), Yusuf al-Mutamin (1081-1085), and Al-Mustain II, Ahmad ibn Yusuf (1085-1110), are patrons of culture and the arts: the Aljafería, the royal residence erected by Ahmad I, is practically the only palace from this period to have survived almost in its entirety.
