Abd al-Haqq I

Abd al-Haqq I (1147–1217), son of the Marinid chief Muhyu, was the first leader of the Marinid dynasty, a Zenata Berber noble. After Muhyu died of wounds fighting for the Almohads at Alarcos in 1195, he took command of the Banu Marin.

After the Almohad disaster at Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212, he led his tribe into north-eastern Morocco in 1213 or 1214, occupying the Rif. In 1217 an Almohad army defeated and killed him, and his son Uthman I succeeded.
