Yazid of Morocco

Mawlay al-Yazid bin Mohammed (Arabic: الْيَزِيدُ بْن مُحَمَّدٍ), born on 6 May 1750 in Fes and died on 23 February 1792 near Zagora, was a Sultan of Morocco from 1790 to 1792, a ruler of the 'Alawi dynasty.

[1] He was proclaimed sultan after the death of his father Mohammed bin Abdallah.

[2][3] In deference to Yazid's father, Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah, the Jews of Tétouan denied financial support to Yazid and his effort to overthrow his father.

[4] Observers remarked that Yazid authorized his black troops to plunder Tétouan's Jewish quarter.
