Idrisid dynasty

The Idrisid dynasty was the first unifying house of Morocco, the Alid sharifs from Hasan's line who ruled most of Morocco and western Algeria from 788 to 974. Idris the Elder fled the Abbasids after Fakhkh, took refuge at Volubilis with Berber allies in 788, and with his son Idris the Younger founded Fez further east, the city that became the Idrisid capital and Morocco ever after. Their reign brought Islam to the Maghreb's far west and Arab settlers to its cities. After Idris II died his rival sons divided the realm and fought, authority steadied between 836 and 863, then Fatimid and Umayyad Cordoba proxies tore it, Fez lost in 927, Qarawiyyin and Andalusiyyin mosques rose, though Islam told only in the towns. Miknasa Sefrou front took Fez in 917, Hassan won it back 925-27 and died, the last Idrisid in Fez, Arab newcomers still coming, the end in 974 with 985's retry failing.
