Ibn Tafragin

Ibn Tafragin (died 1364) was an Almohad sheikh and chamberlain who dominated the Hafsid state in the mid-fourteenth century. Around 1330 he reached high office under Caliph Abu Yahya Abu Bakr II, and as chief chamberlain from 1343 he pushed for closer ties with the Marinids of Fez.

A succession struggle in 1346 cost him his office, but he backed the Marinid invasion of 1347. Abu al-Hasan's mistakes in governing forced the Marinids out in 1349, and power passed to the Almohad sheikhs, of whom Ibn Tafragin was the most influential.

In December 1349 he raised Abu al-Abbas Ahmad al-Fadl to the caliphate, fell out with him and deposed him the next year. He installed the child Abu Ishaq Ibrahim II and ruled in his name until his death in 1364.
