context_page_description: A taifa was an independent Muslim-ruled principality. Taifas developed during the history of Iberia. They were usually emirates or little kingdoms, but there was one oligarchy as well, Seville. A number were formed in the Al-Andalus after the end of the Umayyad Caliphate of Cordóba in 1031.
  They developed because of an administrative division of the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba and an ethnic division of its elite. It was divided among Arabs, Berbers, Eastern European former slaves and Iberian Muslims
