In the twelfth century, Almohad ruler Yaqub al-Mansur brought them to Morocco and installed them in Tamesna (current day Chaouia) along with the other Jusham tribes.
The Khlut proclaimed the Andalusian Ibn Hud as caliph but Abd al-Wahid II pursued them, drove them back and captured their chiefs.
[1] The Marinid sultan Abu Thabit treated the Khlout harshly for their violence, but he used them to destroy the power of the Riyah and he then settled them in their land: the Azghar and Habt.
After Mohammed al-Shaykh became the ruler of Morocco, he removed the military controls of the Khlout, introduced the payment of taxes and deported their leader to Marrakesh.
[1] Writing about the Khlout, he said:[5]The Muntafiq live in the plains of Azgar and are now called al-Khlot; they pay tributes to the King of Fez, and number 8000 well-equipped cavalry.
