Abu Sa'id Uthman II

Abu Sa'id Uthman II (December 1276–August 1331), a younger son of Abu Yusuf Yaqub, succeeded his nephew Abu al-Rabi Sulayman as Marinid sultan in November 1310. Pious and peace-loving, he returned Algeciras and Ronda to Granada in 1313 to end Iberian entanglements.

His son Abu Ali rebelled in Fez in 1315; Uthman removed him from the succession and named Abu al-Hasan heir, then pardoned him after a second rebellion years later. He adorned Fez with the Al-Attarine and other madrasas, and died near Taza in 1331.
