Hicem


Home

King of Toledo. In the poem father of Yahia, son of Alimaymon. In history he does not exist, and Yahia was the son, rather than the grandson, of Alimaymon.

These Kings of Toledo and Valencia were Banu Dhi-I-Nun, Andalusian Berbers of the Hawwara tribe. Hicem’s historical father was Yahya ibn Ismail al-Mamun (ruled 1044-1075) and his son was Yahya ibn Hisham ibn Yahya al-Qadir (ruled 1075-1080, 1081-1085) .
