Taifa of Lisbon

The Taifa of Lisbon (from Andalusian Arabic: طائفة الأشبونة, romanized: Ṭāʾifat al-Ushbūna) was a medieval Islamic Arab Taifa kingdom of the Gharb al-Andalus or Western al-Andalus.

It was located in the Lower March, the northwestern section of Al-Andalus, and it was ruled by the Banu Khazraj.

The Taifa of Lisbon lasted until 1034, when the Aftasids conquered Lishbuna.

It remained in Aftasid control until 1093, when the Kingdom of León briefly seized Lishbuna.

The Wazirids were independent from the Almoravids and controlled the city until 1147 when the Kingdom of Portugal besieged the city from July to October, which marked the end of Muslim control in Central Portugal.
