The poet-king of Seville who called in the Almoravids and died in their prison.

Pressed for tribute by Alfonso VI, he invited Yusuf ibn Tashfin, reportedly saying he would rather herd camels in Africa than pigs in Castile. The Almoravids later removed him and exiled him to Aghmat, where he wrote moving poems.
