Abu Thabit Amir

Abu Thabit Amir (1284–28 July 1308) became Marinid sultan in May 1307 after his father Abu Yaqub Yusuf was assassinated at the long siege of Tlemcen. With several rivals challenging him and a Nasrid-backed pretender holding Ceuta, he defeated his rivals, negotiated the lifting of the siege and hurried north.

To direct operations he founded a town south of Ceuta, Tetouan, but fell ill and died there in July 1308 after a year's reign, leaving the throne to his brother Abu al-Rabi Sulayman.
