abd ar-rahman v

abd ar-rahman v -lrb- -rrb- was an umayyad caliph of córdoba .
in the agony of the umayyad dynasty in the al-andalus -lrb- moorish iberia -rrb- , two princes of the house were proclaimed caliph of córdoba for a very short time , abd-ar-rahman iv mortada -lrb- 1017 -rrb- , and abd-ar-rahman v mostadir -lrb- 1023 -- 1024 -rrb- .
both were the mere puppets of factions , who deserted them at once .
abd-ar-rahman iv was murdered the same year he was proclaimed at cadiz , in flight from a battle in which he had been deserted by his supporters .
abd-ar-rahman v was proclaimed caliph in december 1023 at córdoba , and murdered in january 1024 by a mob of unemployed workmen , headed by one of his own cousins .
