Nobles, Battle of the

Years: 740 - 740

The Battle of the Nobles is an important confrontation in the Berber Revolt in c. 740 CE.

It results in a major Berber victory over the Arabs near Tangier.

During the battle, numerous Arab aristocrats are slaughtered, which leads to the conflict being called the "Battle of the Nobles".

Zenata Berber chieftain Khalid ibn Hamid al-Zanati leads the revolting Berber soldiers.

“One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.”

― Golda Meir, My Life (1975)
