13:35Now PlayingAs Emir Abdullah laid on his deathbed, he had one final decision to make. He had to choose his successor. After a lifetime of bad decisions, he finally made a good one. He had four sons who were still alive, but he skipped them all and he named his grandson, Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad to be the next Emir. His grandson, whose father, he had murdered himself. Abd al-Rahman, forever his favourite, an attractive young man, only 21 years of age, with blue eyes and white skin, was to inherit an emirate in disarray. His grandfather’s power reached barely outside the palace’s walls. On 16th of October, 912CE, Emir Abd al-Rahman III ascended to the Emirate.
Additional Facts:
1) Emir Abdullah had married Onneca Fortúnez, who was the princess of the Kingdom of Navarre. Fortun was captured in a battle by Muhammad I, who probably allowed Fortun his freedom on the condition that he marry his daughter to Muhammad’s son, Abdullah.
