Tunis
Tunis was the Hafsid sultanate of Ifriqiya, ruled from Tunis by a Sunni Berber dynasty. In 1337 Abu Yahya Abu Bakr II governed the reunited realm.
After his death in 1346, the Marinids invaded and briefly occupied Tunis; Abu al-Abbas Ahmad II restored unity in 1370. Hafsid power expanded when Abu Faris Abd al-Aziz II annexed Tripoli in 1401 and Algiers in 1410. Charles V took Tunis in 1535 and made the Hafsids tributaries of Spain; in 1574 the Ottomans captured the city and sent the last caliph to Constantinople.
