Answer a question about this article:
Some succeeded their fathers as rulers, such as Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur, who ruled Morocco from 1578 to 1608. He was not technically considered as a mixed-race child of a slave; his mother was Fulani and a concubine of his father. Such tolerance for black persons, even when technically "free", was not so common in Morocco. The long association of sub-Saharan peoples as slaves is shown in the term abd (Arabic: ,) (meaning "slave"); it is still frequently used in the Arabic-speaking world as a term for black people.
Who was the ruler in Morocco?
Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur
