Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to show how the Umayyads, the family who had built the first dynasty in the Islamic history, were described in the historiography of al-Maghrib and al-Andalus after the eleventh century. The study focused on three points as follows: 1) images of the Umayyads as appeared in Maghribi-Andalusi chronicles, 2) descendants of the Umayyads who appeared in biographical dictionaries, and 3) images of the Umayyads in Christian chronicles, which might affected images of the Umayyads among Moriscos.
