Almoravid

/ˌælmoʊˈrɑːvɪd/ noun

Definition

A member of a powerful Berber Islamic dynasty that ruled North Africa and Spain in the 11th and 12th centuries, known for religious orthodoxy and military prowess.

Etymology

From Arabic al-Murabitun (المرابطون) meaning 'people of the ribat' (a fortified religious settlement), later Latinized as Almoravidae. The dynasty emerged from Saharan warrior monks and became one of medieval Islam's major empires.

Kelly Says

The Almoravids were basically warrior monks who came out of the Sahara Desert and conquered a huge empire—they're like the Islamic equivalent of the Crusaders, but we don't hear about them nearly as much!
