يوسف بن تاشفين
The historian Ibn Hayyan lived the end of his life in the Almoravid empire, as did Al-Bakri, author of "Roads and Kingdoms". Ibn Bassam dedicated his anthology "adh-Dhakhira fî mahâsin ahl al-Gazira" () to Abu-Bakr Ibn-Umar and al-Fath ibn Khaqan his "Qala-id al-Iqyan" () to Yusuf ibn Tashfin.
